Stern upper control Arms

Post by RIV » Mon Jan 12, 2015 8:30 pm

To set the front camber up spot on, I need some adjustable upper control arms
Has anyone else who has lowered their ride height fitted these? If so what company did you purchase them from

O have the 034 ones from Awesome on my B7

Excellent piece of kit, nicely made and has given perfect use in the 10k miles so far this year.

I don't mind ordering fomr the US as I can wait

Nice one would, be intrested to see what you find out, I haven't called them about wheel alignment as I need to order the arms before the cars camber can be set to perfection, keep us posted :thumbs:

I ran a group buy (direct from 034 in the US) over on another forum (A5OC) for the 034 Motorsport ones (all B8 applications) and have a few sets left new and unopened due to people pulling out. PM me if interested.

Poo !
The US site is the same price as the Awesome once you add the shipping. Spoke to Awesome and they have a couple of sets on the shelf for the RS4 B7. So just need confirmation from CentreGravity and I'll buy a set.

Update:
Just ordered a set from Awesome, £378 inc p&p

E14STO mentioned in this thread a while back that he'd gone through three 'o34 motorsport' arms in just as many months :shock: His car is supercharged, but even so?

Same here, I'm sure you will test them out well enough to find out either way :wink:

They have been great.

Primarily I am interested in the setup that they can give - its not so much about feel as potential lol
