Help needed with parts

Post by Frazz82 » Mon Jan 06, 2025 9:32 pm

I ve nearly completed the suspension and brake refurb on my RS6 Avant but struggling to find the last few parts which are.

Rear headlight level sensor
Front caliper pins and retaining plates
Rear anti roll bar bushes

Any links or help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Not sure about others but have seen the pins and retaining plates on Ebay from addiction motorsport for £50.

Headlight level sensor - I "think" you can use this sensor and switch the mounting plate over:

That was certainly the case on the front one and I think I gave the rear a "looking at" at the time and confirmed the same applies.
The only thing I did change was the clip needed a little bit of packing under it to make sure it was snug onto the suspension arm and couldn't move.

I brought the StrongFlex kit to bush my RS. Unfortunately I haven’t driven the car yet so can’t give any feedback other that they felt like a good quality product and all fitted perfectly.
