Hi guys

 

Just been looking at these on Awesome's website. They seem much cheaper than alternatives. is this for a reason? are they any good? I already have the 034 motorsport rear sway bar fitted and wanted to upgrade the droplinks both front and rear. 034 ones are significantly more...what do you guys think?

Do 034 do front links as well then? My rear ones should arrive next week. As Duke says he can notice the difference with his 034 rear drop links so could be a case of listening to others whose experienced components before buying what could be crap

It's not done you any harm Jay

You've got a good little business buying and selling Audi parts

Haha! I know, tell me about it. Fortunately everything's managed to sell in time so definitely helps buying the best to entice others.

Yup they do the fonts as well Jay: https://www.awesomeg...bar-drop-links/

 

I've got a set in my garage that I meant to fit when I fitted the B16's last year but I never got around to it. Give me another 18 months and they might be on the car  ;)

 

No really I need to do a strip down of the front suspension soon as I need to re-lube my control arm bushes and I want to strip the B16's down as one of the top rubbers appears to have moved out of place and it's bugging me.

Can someone who has the 034 rear drop links confirm that they are the correct ones for our 8P RS3's?

Looks like the ones to me. You can use their car specific search to clarify model to be sure. See attached images for mine along with 034 ARB with a fresh coat

Wish I had seen this post before I bought mine. Had my front drop links on not even 7k miles and they have started to knock on the bottom ball joints. Emailed Whiteline U.K. to ask why this is the case since they market then as be far more durable than stock. Not heard a thing back of course.
