Finally fitted my Octavia Rear ARB

[stathap]

Today, I finally made some quality time and got round to fitting my Neuspeed 28mm Rear ARB

All I can say is WOW, what a difference. It's dialled out all of the understeer my car previously suffered from. I wouldn't say it's quite Rear Wheel Drive style good... but it's certainly made me smile round Warrington's roundabouts this afternoon

(I got it from Awesome GTI for about 200 quid http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/neuspeed.html it's the Golf IV fitment)

drilling required to fit the drop links?had to do this on my cordoba,not a problem ,but i am certainly gonna buy another,top bit of stiffening stuff.btw how much and what flavours are the springs and dampers?

cheers.

[stathap]

Jason,

Nope, no drilling required, fitment is easy peasy, simple bolt on application and the kit is v well made

The shocks and springs are KW v2s from Motorsportworld

it does indeed

I also have front upper and lower S3 braces which work a treat (even on standard suspension) and are "cheap as chips" definately "worth their money" :agree:

All these mods are progressive and to be honest I can't even remember what mine was like as standard these days. Definately better than my old cavalier caesaro though

Thanks for those pictures Stathap, now I finally know what they look like !

[ColinD]

Looking good.

Still waiting for the lower struts at AWesome, might tag this on the back of it.

Going to have to be carefull round Warrington now

Getting them (front and rear) fitted on Saturday so I'll let you know.

I'm (for 'I'm' read SWMBO) quite determined that this will be the last 'performance' mod. Purely cosmetic after this

Max Power enough
