Fabia rear ARB, fitted pics

Featured Replies

Its a bit mucky eh? Someone ;) asked me to get some shots of the rear ARB fitted, so I whipped up a corner of the car on my scissor jack, and knelt down to get some ARB shots. I'm gonna have to clean it up a bit and give it a coat of smooth green hammerite. ;) Edit: Nice close up of FK rear coilover setup too. :D

Is that rust on yours Jason??

How come yours is not already painted green like the ones Adrian posted up from Jabba?

Had any oversteering moments since fitted?

Now im confused, a coilover used to be the spring over the shocker, hence the name coil-over, surely this is just an adjustable ride height spring ...... no???

That's easy to answer...someone couldn't wait to have it fitted.;)

Technically speaking, the rears aren't coilovers, but because the Fabia has separate spring & damper, this isn't possible. You're right, it is a height adjustable spring.

The fronts are coilovers though.

No, you're right - I couldn't wait to get it fitted, so had their "demo version" version. I can see now though it needs cleaning up as it had no coating put on it whatsoever.

Its hardly going to rust through now, is it? :rofl:

nothing that some special metal primer and green smoothrite can't sort out.

You could always whip it off and get it powder coated for a tenner

Whip it off, and rub it down myself + give two coats of hammerite sounds cheaper to me. :D If I can get my car up on the ramp I'll see if anything else under there could do with cleaning off and undersealing.... As this car is mine for the long run I'd better get vulnerable parts coated to protect it in the long run. ;)
