Golf MK4 ARB's ?

[Goochie]

Will a Golf MK4 rear ARB fit stright on to a FWD Octavia Elegance?

[EddyH]

Yes.

EDIT: Just to expand Neuspeed among others list the same part number. Also the front is the same as FWD Golfs apart from the vRS/4x4.

[Goochie]

Cheers - As I thought

[Goochie]

Would fitting just the Neuspeed FRONT ARB be a bad idea? or do I have to do both at once?

[EddyH]

I wouldn't recommend the front only as it'll increase understeer. If only doing one go for the rear. If buying new it's worth noting that a pair of Eibachs complete with poly bushes etc.. is only around £200 so pretty much the price of 1 Neuspeed item.

[Goochie]

Ahh........ it was the price of the Nuespeed that had me thinking of doing just one.

[EddyH]

I think H&R are also priced around £200 for the pair.

The eibach kits sell out quick so often have a long lead-in time. Worth making a few calls to check availability.

I bought a set for my Golf but got the Octavia before having them fitted. The guy that got them instead was really pleased with them, despite having a heavily mofidied Golf with coilovers etc.. he thought they were one of the best mods he'd done and good value at that!

Neuspeed ARB is very good...adjustable...apparently stiffest setting will give oversteer.

Bugger to fit beam hangers though....make sure you got some clamps and axle stands.

still got front and rear neuspeed bars from my vrs. Make me an offer Mr Gooch.

[Goochie]

Sadly, the front one from the VRS wont fit the non VRS :( (been covered many time son here before - confirmed by Ross)

Hi

Eddy is right.

If you fit just the front it will understeer.

So you have to fit them both.

H & R do do them but the price IIRC £230.00 for the pair.

Eibach have been awaiting theirs for a while now.
