Job's a good 'un.
agreed, don't know about the brakes, only if you were tracking it if not then the stndard rs4 brakes are good enough.

My car also had Forge DV's fitted- neither of them were working properly at first service/health check at MRC- its not a given that aftermarkets are the best- Doug recommended the 710's from the S3 as the diaphragm was more flexible with less inertia= better throttle adjustability. No fault codes were flagged up at either this, or succeeding 6 monthly services/oil changes......

Had the airbox mod and panel filter combo done in September- difficult to detect and more power, possibly a bit torquier but definately smoother and a nice steady build up of ooomph......

don't forget the support brackets for the h&r arbs unless you want some cracked subframes

the popular other option are the hotchkis arbs that include brackets are are cheaper - some say they are not as stiff but there is not much in it from what i can tell

Thank you, from where do you usually buy the support brackets?

I bought billet Hotchkis support brackets from Unit 20 after my H&R arbs tore my rear subframe to sh1t.

Make sure you get brackets before you fit the H&R ARBs otherwise you could be looking at a very expensive repair job.

In trying to save myself £140 on the support brackets in the first place (by thinking my car would be ok with the ARBs on soft setting) I ended up having to fork out hundreds for the brackets and related repairwork to the subframe.
