Rear anti roll bar

Post by ChrisA » Sun Dec 05, 2021 7:11 pm

So after my recent visit to Unit 20 I’ve been given a list (thankfully sort) of jobs that need attention, one of them being the rear anti roll bar corroded.

What are the best options to fix the issue, is an upgrade worth the money or shall I get a used on powder coated?

I'd say you have a good excuse to upgrade.

Hotchkis, I think Grizz can get them.

I was discussing hotchkis arbs for mine with grizz at my last visit.
He mentioned another make and said they were as good as hotchkis but a lot cheaper.
Cannot recall the name but worth talking to grizz about them.

H&R possibly. Not specific to RS6 though, IIRC.

Interested in a non Hotchkiss set up. They are far too pricey these days as they are still imported I believe which the cost of doing so has now rocketed !

Yeah, I got hotchkis front and rears from the US, but I’m not sure it’s worth it any more.
TBH, a nice powder coat job is cheap and brings em up looking like new.
