C6 upgraded ARB - Is this the right part number

[TomRS]

i think i can get them for about £260 give or take with exchange rate inc delivery , does anyone know how much of a pain the are to fit i take it subframe out job ?

Where from? and no its not a subframe off job.. simple fit from memory, 3 bolts either side plus removal of the drop link.

How hard is it to replace these ARBs?

[RossH14]

'simple' just a matter of unbolting/rebolting

Front one was easy but the rear is a bit more fiddly. I dropped the exhaust to make enough room to get the old one out and the new one in.

Great! Thanks
So just to make sure (before I order) - this is it right? https://suspension-shop.com/h-r-anti-sw ... e-kit.html

Yup - looks like the ones!

RS6 newbie to resurrect this thread .

Would you improve steering (and/or handling) by replacing the front only?

[don0301]

They're designed as a pair....

Why would you want to change front only?

[c3nturi0n]

Front - can be diy’ed and mandatory (based on feedback and comments on this forum)

Rear - requires advanced DIY skills and somewhat optional for an avg road user. If track is on the agenda that may dictate replacement of both.

Hope that helps.

I Have just changed both front and rear with the H & R ARB kit with the rear being set to the stiffer setting, the improved turn in and feel is surprising, I thought it would be marginal, but worth every penny, this is at all speeds on the road, I know will be even better on the track

Generally speaking -

A stiffer front ARB with an OEM rear promotes understeer.

A stiffer rear ARB with an OEM front promotes oversteer.

So as the RS6 tends to understeer at the limit (with no throttle applied) then really just a better rear ARB would help. However thats looking at things from a stand-alone situation and in reality just having a stiffer rear would make the car feel much more unstable and more prone to snap-oversteer etc while just a stiffer front would make the back of the feel like wobbly jelly in comparison, meaning neither of those alone make the car feel "planted".

You really need to keep a good balance with ARB's which is why they're normally sold as a front/rear pair.
