Mine didn't Adrian ... but it only took them two days max to get them delivered :)

They tend to offer ok service whilst being blissfully codescending :D

Mine neither Pete....took 5 working days to get it....no problem I wasn't in a rush but I wasn't going to pay what Nick did from VAGPARTS orginally...I think it was

Hope all this helps Wrighty, Adrian...

Obviously the OEM+ gear comes in mat black

thanks for the help,

will go to my local Audi dealer and get them ordered,was going to go for shiny bits but have decided to get the upper one sprayed body colour to look 'factory',lower can stay black.

many thanks

is it worth it? noticable difference?

:nod:

Yeah, I think so. Only slight, though.

stick that on the list of things to get done. Is it upper and lower front and rear?

just front,rear already has the support braces.

could change the rear one though or add another to make even stiffer.

anti-roll bar for the rear is next on my list and an uprated front after the strut braces that is.

R32 Golf,have heard these fit,is this correct?

Go for the 28mm ARB for a MkIV Golf from Neuspeed (from Awesome-GTi.co.uk), there's various posts about them if you search, it makes a BIG difference :D:thumbup:

Having tried Carjacked Mike's Prototype rear brace, i can tell you the OEM "Braces" will benefit hugely from the finished article...when it's ready :)

what happened with this 'Hanger? was this the one you offered me a go on, that we forgot all about? :rolleyes:

Gilly,

I've got it atm if you want to give it a go. I borrowed it to try in the estate but it doesn't fit too well but you're more than welcome to it. Mike's requested as many 'volunteers' as possible for testing purposes.

Let me know and we'll meet up for that beer aswell.

Cheers,
