hus99 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 iv just recieved a set of coilovers that i purchased on ebay , and they have come complete but without the mounting that the anti rol bar holds on too, anyone no if the mounting on the standard shocks would cause any problems if i was to use that.

hus99 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 yeah its that black part which wraps round the shock, is that the standard bracket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo-S3 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes mate thats the standard bracket, simply unbolt it and then bolt it on to your H&R's. Let me know if you need any advice on fitting etc. I have them on my S3 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I think your going to have some clearance problems by lowering and running 19's. Besides the ride would be quite harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you dont lower it too much other wise you will cause the tyres to rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hus99 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 chers for help, but just wondering is that t6he anti roll bracket,as im sure the bracket on the standard shock is welded on , so how would i get it off, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo-S3 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 The black bracket that bolts on and off the old struts is re-bolted back onto the coilover strut which is purely there to hold the brake line. The bracket that is further up and has the link arm that is connected to the anti roll bar IS welded on and should be already on the strut. Have i made my self clear?? Can you post up some pics on yours if your still confused about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hus99 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 see thats the problem i have the anti roll bar bracket that is welded did not come with my new strut so i need to get that off the old strut and get it on my new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
