Post by Tommcole » Mon Nov 26, 2018 11:28 am

Has anyone fitted 034 motorsport arms - upper and lower to there RS .. just looking for a bit of feedback on whether they worth the money ?
Or just replace all bushes in the OE arms instead.

I had the adjustable arms. I was happy with them but they were a pain to adjust as the adjustment came by turning the end connection. This means you have to disconnect one end of the arm every time you want to make an adjustment. So setting them up in the first place takes a bit of time but once set up they are all good.
The Stern adjustable arms allow adjustment in situ so much easier to adjust.

Ah Tommo, thought that was you but wasn't sure.

The adjustable arms should sort out the wear on the inner edges at your normal ride height but not sure how much negative camber you still need to stop it rubbing. Depends on how much you are tucking at normal height and what wheels / spacers. You are running.

The normal arbs do a good job with DRC especially the thicker SS+ one. When people change to coilovers they often change one or both to help control the roll. I just changed my SS one to a SS+ one as I had DRC with KW adjustable springs and it worked quite well.
