getting a rubbing noise when turning tight corners at very slow speeds and is worst when on a slope. mines lowered on ap coilovers with standerd droplinks and arb. need some help to stop the rubbing? has anyone else had this problem? how did you cure it?

thanks

sounds silly, but check its not your arch liner that could have come loose rubbing against your wheel on full lock, happened to me! :)

thanks my fault i didnt explain properly nah its definatly the driveshaft as its more of a grinding noise and the arb has a bit of wear on it from this. just need a recommendation on whether there is actually any adjustable droplinks that work on a standard arb or if i need to get an uprated one and what one?

oh right I see, well I know you can get adjustable drop links for this problem, think its quite common. I'm sure someone will know if they fit OEM ARBs or not. or call a VAG tuner to ask?!

i love it mate, really a fan of the bombing, i had some bits done in the engine bay but i swapped them out after a while... just didnt feel them on my car.

i really want an LCR bumper, but their so expensive! :(

and your in the same boat as me with the rs6 reps... i loved them at first now i want something with dish ;)

Page 114 in PVW this month... Well done mate ;) looks great.

I'd say Porsche twists look good on the Leon, but then I'm biased.
