Hi Kylie,

Is Liam offering a fitting service for the ARB brackets? If so, I'd be interested in ordering a pair.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Its not somthing we are going to offer as it takes up far to much time and we dont have really have the correct tools.

Most of the items we do are fairly easy to fit and will, at some point, come with fitting instructions. We are always on the end of the phone if you get stuck.

Liam has just told me that the rear roll bar brackets are now going to incorporate the rear diff support so this product sounds like it is going to be fairly unique.

They're great! I had a drive on the first really warm day today, and the gear knob wasn't too hot. The stabiliser bar is still doing its job nicely too. They've made a great difference to the car!

Maybe in the hotter summer months, you could sell them and give away a left driving glove as free gift :D

I have invested in a prosthetic hand for such occasions! I have just had one fitted on my car yesterday and my car changes gear so smoothly now its feels ace! i went for standard gearknob no plate and no pattern and it looks SICK( excuse my London Slang, but it is called for) it really drives like a dream so now i need to pester Liam to get the brace on and i will be onto a winner!!

Hi Kylie,
Having just found my rear anti roll bar mounts need some attention from the welder, any news on when the support brackets might be available?
Cheers.

Hi Kylie.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to build up a set of adjustable front upper arms for S4/Rs4 b5!?!?

Let me know

Upper arms need a lot of thought and design.

The bearings need to be big enough so they don't wear out (like some on the market) But small enough so the don't bind on full lock. They also need to have a large inclination angle to deal with the suspension travel. If you don't get this right and they break at speed....
