HELP required with ARB's

Post by Stepho » Tue Sep 27, 2005 8:55 pm

I am in the process of trying to uprate my S3 Anti-Roll Bars to those from the Golf R32, and have become very confused . I have priced Parts from my local VW Dealer, Awesome GTi, and Vag Parts. I have quoted part No's and I have a huge variation in price.

The Part Nos I believe are as follows:
R32 Front 23mm ARB - 1J0 411 305 AF
R32 Rear 19mm ARB - 1J0 511 409 K
23mm Powerflex Poly Bushes - PFF85-411-23
19mm Neuspeed Bushes with Grease Retaining Design

Firstly can anyone confirm I am looking for the correct parts?

Secondly I have listed the prices I have been quoted and I believe there must be some mistake somewhere as there is a huge variation.

Vag Parts - 23mm ARB - £40.03 + vat
19mm ARB - £50.77 + vat
P/flex bushes - £25.95 +vat
Do not stock Neuspeed bushes.

Awesome GTi - 22/25mm Neuspeed ARB £145 + vat
19mm Neuspeed ARB - £175 +vat (these come in kit form with bushes supplied)
Front Bushes - £67.50 + vat

Local Vw Dealer - 23mm ARB - £88.70
19mm ARB - £47.30

I posted a similar thread on the Audi-Sport forum but my thread was hijacked.

Thanks in advance

Not sure - I bought the Neuspeed kit from Awesome GTI (22mm front, 19mm rear) and all the required parts were part of the kit - approx £300 in total - I did NOT have to buy front bushes (Ps stay away from 25mm front bar too)

Try sending a PM to WAK - he has fitted the R32 kit to his TT I believe (he can be found in the S4 forum on here)
