Eibach anti roll bar fitting for mk1 golf

How hard is it to fit eibach anti roll barsto a mk1 golf








i think i know how to fit them but i wanted to be first to post here

 

The Eibach bars bolt on the same as the std ones, 1 hour job m8.

 

Yeah same as Std, Make sure you get some new wishbone clamps for the front ones as they have a habbit of sheering off when you try to undo them.

 

make sure when ur fitting them u grease up the new rubbers as they will sqeeke

 

haven't done anything with the ARB's on the rocco, but I remember the polo ones being a bit of a bugger, as you had to pre-load them before/while fitting, are the rocco/mk1 ones similar, in that they are under load when fitted?

 

only took me about 1hr to fit my front one including new wisbone and mounts

 

Wouldnt mind getting one for my mk1, who sells them / for how much?
Thanks,
Fionn.

 

A set of Eibach ones are just over 200 notes. Just noticed Volks-Speed do a lightweight adjustable rear one for 190.

 

i got mine from venom 205 + postage

how hard are the rear ones to fit too can i use standard arb clamps for the front

i got the rear ones in the kit and all the polly bushes and a small thing of greese shall i use this or sumit else

 

I found the rear one a lot easier to fit than the front one.

The standard clamps fit fine on the front, it's only the bushes which are different, they have a larger centre diameter to accomodate the larger bar.

I never used any lube on mine and they don't squeak, or maybe I just can't hear them squeak over all the rattles and squeaks coming from the inside of the car!

 

what do the wish bone clamps look like i might give it a go this weekend

 

Erm, sort of a C shape with two studded ends attached to it which go through the wishbone.

 

how much of a differnce will they make then

 

i got them fitted but the passengers side clamp did not hold it in properly as if the holes in the wish bones were too far down gona try a new clamp today

 

I had to jack up one side then support it and then jack up the other wheel so it doesn't hang down so low to make the wishbones more even.

I guess it depends how stiff your car is already but they made my car much more fun to drive

 

who sell the new clamps do you know ? the polly bush on the passenger side has poped off because it wasnt holding it on properly

i havent pushed it much but it seems like its gona be fun

 

I think I got the wishbone clamps from GSF. I needed to replace one of the inner clamps too which I got from the main dealer.

 

i tried g&S and they said they didnt sell the clamps for the wish bones

 

Does it only effect cornering?

I have koni kit dampner adjustable, front top & bottom & rear top struts, eibach arb kit... etc

But the car still wants to fly off the road when i plant the power under heavy lock (front wheel drive quirks?)

 

i havent had a chance of really testing it yet because the clamps i just bought new ones yestorday from vag 4 each so all being well i will find out today
