Hi everyone, Happy Christmas.

Need some recommendations. Have Mag ride and looking into options for aftermarket upgrades. Suggestions?

Are there any kits available that still allow the modes to be changed, as I do like the comfort setting when stealthing to the supermarket...

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Happy RS-ing.

A lot of us have MSS springs that work fine with mag ride. Tad expensive although worth it imho as they transform the car. Get rear ARB too and all handling issues sorted.

Thanks TX. MSS do appear popular. Any thoughts on Bilstein B16 ride control jobbies?

How about using Elbachs as a cheaper option ?

The B16 are really good but pricey + you may need to code out the magride or fit eliminators.

As TX said fit a upgrade ARB works wonders !

Thanks all. Sold on MSS and H&R ARB seeing as most forum members appear very happy with the transformation.

Cheers

Can someone explain what an ARB is please?

I take it MSS and H&R are both spring manufacturers.

Anti roll bar

H&R do a rear Anti Roll bar for the 8V.
034 weren’t interested when I emailed them over a year back.

Uk distributor for H&R is AKS tuning.

Doh, I have one fitted to my car as well.

HKS will sell you the rear only at around £185 if memory serves.

Rear only is best as if you get the front too you also stiffen up the front end which kind of defeats what you need to do to help the front stick better.

If you give AKS Tuning a call they will give you a good price on the rear H&R ARB. They can also fit it for you too I think.

As TX stated in his post, you do not need to fit the front one as it just negates the benefit of the uprated rear. There is a good thread on this subject somewhere on this forum which will also help.

Perfect, thank you!

Hi All,

 

Managed to find the German TUV Test Certificate from Tests conducted by H&R to obtain Type Approval for the RS3 and TTRS in December 2016.

 

Upgrading the rear only with standard front ARB will introduce more 'oversteer' characteristics. If the front is stiffened with the rear, these characteristics will be lessened, but body control is still improved (roll). Upgrading front and keeping standard rear will induce 'understeer' characteristics.

 

The TUV Cert does mention that there are no restrictions to upgrading only one anti-roll bar or indeed their use with other wheel, tyre or spring combinations.

 

Nice to see the premium aftermarket suppliers doing this properly.

 

About to order my bar now.

Is the FL going to benefit from having the rear ARB changed too ?

[terminator x]

Seems to steer much better than PFL already?
