Ive done the rear today but the front got me spinning. What's the easist way to install the front ARB?
Remove subframe - trying to avoid this.
Remove right hand side drive shaft and cv - can the ARB be wiggled through?
Any help will be appreciated.

Has anyone fitted both front and rear ARB on the cars?

There's no point fitting an upgrade ARB on the front as your be back to square one understeer city
The understeer problem is caused by the rear ARB check out 034 web site
I have the rear 034 ARB fitted & its the best mod ive done for my driving style no understeer & lots of front end grip !

Considering the 8V is an MQB platform car it’s crazy that 034 haven’t developed one for it yet and didn’t seem interested when asked either....maybe it’ll change now there’s a FL car.
Only one for 8V is H&R and that was a battle to sort out a uk source.

it would make all suspension parts void no doubt. I’ve had mine on quite a while and had it re powder coated including the silver mounts to make it look more OEM (not that I’m bothered about warranty anymore) so depends how smart your local tech is if he picks up on it or not.Would fitting a rear ARB invalidate warranty or are they easy to remove before a service?
Best mod for the 8P though.

I’m 90% sure I’m going to go for the 8P. The £46 per month warranty has really swung my decision in the RS3’s favour.
I worry all these Golf r’s are mostly ex lease and have been hammered from cold
Just wondering if I can’t get away with a secondary cat delete and rear arb. I’d more or less be happy with that.
Audi seem strict. Bmw let you run a akra without voiding the warranty and I really like the set up you have.

The standard suspension is rubbish to be honest, so I’d stick the ARB on anyway, paint the brackets and take your chance. You could always swap them back again as it’s an easy job if you was really worried.

Buying an 8p RS3 won’t necessarily help get a car that has not been ragged to death from cold, you could pick them up on PCP it was it business lease? I can’t remember.I’m 90% sure I’m going to go for the 8P. The £46 per month warranty has really swung my decision in the RS3’s favour.

I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, if you are as worried about warranty and potential repair bills as it seems keep it standard, if you want to modify then you might get away with some mods then again you might not it’s luck of the draw. Although 99% are, not all Audi techs are zipped up the back, the guy I take mine to is ex Audi and he is one very clued up guy. I’m not trying to put you off I’m just giving the other side of the argument.

I know you could say the same of almost any car. It’s just that golf r’s are so cheap on lease, and so many are base spec. I assume the vast majority are ex lease.
I already have a Xc60 on lease as a daily that goes back in October. A change in circumstances means I need 2 4 seat cars.
I normally leave my cars standard but I really want a rear ARB and exhaust. I want a warranty due to the engine and gearbox. Seems a no brainier for £46 per month.
