034 Bushings VS Ak Motorsports Bushing, need comments please

Post by shaun_ccxr » Fri Dec 30, 2016 5:04 am

Hello All,


I am ready to swap over all the wear down bushings of my B7 RS4 which has about 110,000KM on now.

I have been looking into 034 and AKM in specific, both of the has the full front kit with control arms but AKM has the rear full set which is quite rare for this car.


Price wise the AKM full set is about 1/3 cheaper than 034. Hence anyone from here has experiences from these 2 brands?

I will mainly be using the car for leisure driving and occasion road trips, so race track stiffness is not necessary, just want to car to feel better and increase driving feedbacks in general

I had the 034 kit fitted a few months ago, didn't notice any difference in comfort. I think I will need adjustable top arms
though as my camber is off a bit, no doubt caused by the 30mm drop.

One thing I did notice when I received my 034 kit in the post, the actual arms had no markings/logos on them, I would have
thought that 034 would stamp it all over them.
