[EDDY,G]

chears !

I set mine on the hardest setting.

[Jarv]

Agree with Phil, hardest setting for me too. In fact, if you don't set the rears to their hardest setting the droplinks rub.

hardest on rear and I think middle/softer setting on front for me

[RSpimp]

got mine set "middle" front and back

[derdle]

I thought there were only two settings - hard and harder? Anyway, mine on hardest both ends. As jarv says, the rears need to be on hardest to prevent the droplinks rubbing on the driveshafts.

hard on the front, but definetely go with soft on the rear. Otherwise you'll get oversteer.
The car is natural with the above settings, and reacts so nicely... imho

But then then drop links rub on the driveshafts!

Very difficult to get oversteer, best you can hope for is to balance it up a bit. I would do soft front, hard rear but I know people set the front hard too. That makes for too much understeer for me.

gonna deffo go hard on the back dont like the sound of things rubbin on drivshafts ! do they rub on all cars ? or do they only rub on lowerd cars ? seem daft that they didnt realise this at the design stage !! cheers for the advice though guys !!

[derdle]

or do they only rub on lowerd cars ?

Good point - mine is slightly lowered on H&R's...anybody else?

mines std height and the drive shafts rubbed into the droplinks. the more weight in the back or the lower the car the more they push together so when its jacked up theres loads of clearance.

All cars unless you fit Dougs top secret rear ARB mod!

True Nige, although they don't seem to rub on my B5 S4.

It depends on how stiff you want the car. I think you need Doug's attachments if you want the front bar set to stiff, otherwise there is too much understeer. That said, it makes it more of track car than a country road weapon IMO as they don't ride the bumps & uneven surfaces that well.

Not so top secret now. I've seen it with my own 2 eyes
