I'm running 225 MPSS
I only get the rub if turning sharp, usually drivers side.
I'll need to heighten another 5mm and see what happens.
It had crossed my mind to fit original rear springs with the adjustable dampers?
I'll heighten 5mm and move the dampers to 5, just thought I cant be the only one this happens too?

[marshy]

Do you have an upgrade rear arb mate ?

Standard rear bar as my insurance wouldn't let me fit it

[Sonnybo55]

The mpss are a little wider than contis, but as we all know the contis are crap, your insurance wouldn't let you fit them even if you paid a little premium?

I have KW Variant 3's fitted on the Clio v6 and tbh I just couldn't take it anywhere, it caught every speed bump and i couldn't take it in multi stories or anywhere steep. The one thing I'm not changing on the RS3 is the ride height, im loving the freedom of being able to take it anywhere pretty much!! Lol

[marshy]

My insurance wouldn't insure me with it fitted!!
Even made a note on my policy saying "uprated rear anti roll bar not fitted"

I'm over the moon with the ride since fitting the PSS10 kit, I'm about 10mm down on standard ride height "front"
Rear unloaded about 10mm down on standard, no clearance problems with speed bumps etc just not happy with the saggy rear ride height.

Apart from that being the thickest thing I think I have heard from an insurance company proving they are being cr*p just let me say this:

 

The 034 Motorsport sticker peels off of the ARB you know. if you fitted one 5 miles up the road it would be covered in road filth so who the hell would know.

 

Just don't crash and let the good times roll

I had a H&R one and thought of painting it but the give away is the extra holes for stiffness settings.
My insurance is due again in 6 weeks so may go back down that route.

Luckily the stiff setting on ARB's are the 1st hole so you can cut the end of the bar off with the additional holes. Dab of paint on the cut end.

 

Happy days

I wouldn't risk it. Any issue, and it's the first thing they would check having excluded it. Change insurer.

I'm with Chris Knott who gave the forum scheme, just renewed for a second year.

I have also used Noel Dazely with modified insurance in the past, on my modded S3's inc front and rear arbs, Porsche big red brakes spacers and a load of other stuff on top of the remaps.

[marshy]

I sold the bar I had as it wasn't worth the risk.
If when I renew in 6 weeks with a new mod friendly insurer I may buy another

[Duke3D]

Not being nosy but they wouldn't cover an ARB but they are OK with a complete change of suspension to coil-overs?

 

Does not compute.

 

Deffo change your insurer.

They'd cover remap coilovers etc but no no to rear bar
I'll be changing insurer that's for sure.

I'm with Sky Insurnce and all mods declared and covered including the 034 bar, were cheaper than Chris Knott and Noel Dazeley for me anyway.

[marshy]

Well I've raised the rear 3mm and turned the dampers to 5 and haven't experienced any rubbing yet!
Ordered the H&R rear bar today since I've changed my insurance as of midnight tonight.
Cancelled my current policy 1 month early as got a good deal through Chris Knott

[booker]

Have you got any pics of the new set up Marshy?

[marshy]

Not yet mate!
It's rained for 6 weeks! I've not forgotten

[marshy]

A couple of quick ones between the showers

Looks really good Marshy    The only problem is that I can't believe it's not raining in Scotland, so we may need 'proof of identity'    

[marshy]

I've just popped to the shops, this may help

[TommyRS3]

So do them 8mm hubcentric spacers fit on the rear ok no issues?
