can you confirm what car you have...
Yes we could sort something out on a buy of over 5 bars,.
Now you tell me... we tried to get 10 people to do a group buy a while ago and we only got about 8 so we didn't bother. In the end (A few weeks ago) I just bought the ARBs at full price (Well 10% SeatCupra.net discount)!
Just to give some feedback though, the ARBs arrived next day as promised, and they look top quality. I got them fitted last weekend and went to a trackday on Saturday, and I can confirm that they have made the handling MUCH better. Passengers in my car used words like "Go-Kart like handling"! :D
Excellent service from Awesome, and an excellent product too.
Cheers
Ben
:cheers:
he's got a cordoba coupe
so basically a mkII golf setup (but he'll need drop links to fit the rears)

right thanks,... i'll quote for a Mk2 then
Front 22mm £175
Front 25mm £150
Rear 25mm £145
Rear 28mm £175
(+vat)
and we can do a discount as mentioned b4
The rears come with the drop links but you'll probably need to modify them to fit.
What would you recommend for the Leon?

25mm...
£185 front/rear (respectively) for the Leon (assuming this is the same as a golf in respect to ARB since the US doesnt have the Seat's
On the Ibiza I fitted 25mm front and 28mm rear. The handling is MUCH better now, and I've yet to notice any negative effects. I'd of thought with the Leon being heavier you'd want your ARBs to be atleast as stiff, but then I don't know how stiff it is to begin with.
Cheers

cheers m0rk,yes cordoba,have a front ready to fit(calls pasty crew)
will be in touch on this as soon as i finish the decorating,hense my slow response:cheers:

You shouldn't have a problem with either.

I won't coz I won't be fitting 'em - crap with a spanner see - need someone nearby maybe M0rk who is good at this stuff who fancies earning a few extra bucks and a couple of beers thrown in :D

do the ARB's need to be installed at the same time (i.e. front n rear) as its alot to do both at once or can they be done one at a time?? Any negative effects in doing so?
On the Leon/toledo no. Actually most (90%+) do rear only as the front is already rather big (23mm).
On the beeza I'm not sure but if my mk3 golf serves as example "HELL YES"!
My mk3 golf came w/ a 19mm front bar & no rear bar. Stuck on the rear neuspeed bar 1st ======== Serious oversteer!!

hmmm, any1 else have any thoughts?? Was gonna do the front one first if i did anyway as its easier (drop links etc)
There's a very good FAQ on ARB over in the vortex forums. I'll try finding it again.

Front one is more difficult IMHO. Certainnly if it's the first front ARB you have done.
It's also not just a case of plonking it on. You ideally have to line it up so the same thread on each of the rosejoint connectors are showing and make sure it doesn't foul on the driveshaft gator.
The tangs are also an arse but I found a cunning way roud locating those....but you need a pit really...

They're the same Ed.
Thought so. Just couldn't find anything to confirm it. :cheers:
at a big guess ed the 25 on its hardest setting may well be the same as the 28 on its softest,sure awesome can confirm or deny this through neuspeed:cheers:

Getting hold of one is difficult enough. Bite the bullet mate and go buy one.
Dor.
Do what I'm doing Jason - applying for a 9 month interest free credit card:D Might as well use that one rather than my current one, although I do pay it off in full every month. I worked out that if I did all the spending on a new interest free card I could have £500+ saved up by the end of the term for something else.

from your seperate post in this forum, it seems getting one on its own
is no faster, and it seems a shame that there are over 5 people that want them
qualifying for a group buy...:confused:

True but whilst you are paying minimum repayments you can put the rest away in a savings account.
lol,but if i don't buy one at all yet,and get one for cash later,i owe no bugger nothing,with no interest and nothing to pay ever:D
