Hi all,

Got a bit excited the other night and ended up purchasing this

http://pistonheads.com/sales/3505235.htm

I thought it was the RARB, but the chap has listed it as the ARB. I have only realised it now so I will give him a text in the morn.

But from all the details listed it actually appears to be the RARB but just miss labelled.

From looking on the whiteline website it appears you can only get the ARB in 22mm not 24mm and all the droplinks look like the ones included in the RARB kit.

But at the same time it looks like a different shape to the normal whiteline RARB. Is it just the angle of it in the photo? Or have I gone down the wrong route?

Defo looks like a RARB, has all the correct bits for a RARB matey

That's what I thought.

I got it for 90 so I am not to bothered if it was the arb but with everything there it looked like the rarb.

Bargin!

Looks like all the right bits, but you will need to get some grease. £100 2nd hand is still quite a lot, as they are about £150 new, but the condition looks very good. Interesting tape design.

Got it for 90 and brand new from whiteline they are 176 with tax. Other places says 156 tax not included so It's a good 80 off for something that is only 4 months old.

It will be going green when i get it.

That's definitely a whiteline rear ARB, got the same colour bushes and brackets as mine had. It looks like he's bent the U shape bolts a bit fitting it so you might need a vice to straighten them out a bit before fitting to yours

Been confirmed as the rarb.

They are bent as the other user has overtightened them.

One of the RARB I took off the 51 plate car had that.

The other I sold was mine and the U clamps were just like they came new.

90 is a damn good deal mate, dont forget they dont really wear out, they are say 180 new so really 50 off is still good. but the more the better, they are unseen and no real moving parts so whats to go wrong?

Nice one mate, It WILL transform your car!

Cheers. Well there only u bolts. If I can't fix just get new. Be like a tenner?

Been talking about it for so long. Now i finally have it LOL.

The U bracket are easy to bend back so should be ok.

I angle grinded my bolts so they sat more flush to the brackets in case they got caught by something as my car is low

Get rid of that tape though..I sprayed mine same color as the green calipers, now fitted a 28mm neuspeed one.

Don't worry, it will be going. That's what i want to do! What colour hammering is it? Because I thought it was the discontinued colour, smooth green. But now when searching. I can only find smooth dark green, which looks like the original smooth green?

yes is discontinued. I got 3 cans long time ago. Yes is smooth green. Don't think smooth dark green will be the same.

however could be wrong as seem to list this as smooth dark green but is the same.

Strange as if you look at other smooth dark green they are definitely darker?? go figure

Green is a brave choice! I wish I'd given mine a coat of satin black before putting it on but I was too impatient to try it out!

green is nide lol, I did these 2 before selling them and fitting my 28mm Neuspeed RARB

What colour did you use billy?

That is hammerite smooth green mate

Where did you get your paint from? All the ones on eBay have now gone.

got it off ebay mate, only used it for them and was going to use it on the Brembos but ended up going to a paint makers on an industial estate and he made me some spray can up. If you want the vRS colour just find one mate.

I found one easy so dont think they will be too hard to find, just ask your local body shop who mixes their paint up.

I did mine gunmetal grey before I fitted it, around the time I bought it people were saying on here that the whiteline ones they'd bought back in 2007 were corroding after a couple of years so thought painting it would help.

yup the whitelines are not the best protected, I took mine off every year and rubbed it down and painted it, got a Neuspeed last year and sold mine.

awesome bit of kit tho.
