    I have been told today that I can expect a wait of at least a further six months before my RS2 FARB will arrive. My parts guy said the company that made them is no longer. So someone else will have to make new moulds and so on. I've told him to keep me on the list anyway. The wait doesn't bother me at the moment.
    Has anyone else had any news on this?

      No, i was hoping i could have sneaked a buy from somewhere, VAGParts are still waiting for them.

      I should have bought one last year, wasn't in a hurry because i though Audi had loads.

      Aint really having much luck recently with the S2 and it's getting too me.

        Will see what will happen today.

          This doesn't sound good. Time to look for some RS2 wrecks?!

              We had the same problem and want one asap, so we're going down the route of having them made. They will be 26mm and we should have the trial one in our hands in 3 weeks. I'll take some photo's when they arrive and anyone interested can PM me.

                I tried to get some ( rears) made in Sheffield and a place in Wiltshire. If you can get the fronts made then why not do the ( whiteline style) rears as well?

                  What mm is the RS2 bar in comparison?

                  I've got a Whiteline on order as well if it ever turns up.

                  Whoa is me at the moment.

                  Ant i was annoyed when you sold them because i was on holiday and came back to find they were sold by the time i got back!

                  Damn it all too hell, Anybody got any happy pills?

                      Heh dont worry mate i aint at buy a diesel suicide stage yet.

                      Rotoryboy, i found a post that says standard Coupe ARB is 26mm and RS2 is 28mm?

                      Anybody confirm this?

                      18-20mm in dia for rear ARB could be much better, not too stiff yet, so that whiteline ARB could be a very good choice. Waiting for test results...

                        Anti-roll bars were enlarged to 28mm (front) and 16mm (rear)

                          What kind of ball park price we looking and production times?

                          Well if it's the same thickness as the RS2 bar then the Powerflex bushes at VAGParts can be used, no need for custom bits, get the RS2 Drop links.............................

                              Depending on cost i'd be interested in this as well, direct replacement and using oem droplinks etc will make it more appealing too!
