034 rear ARB

[P_G]

Has anyone tried the 034 bar on their A/S/RS7? Had it on my RS3 and it was fantastic, just not sure how much benefit it would be on a car this size.

And advice / experience of this modification would be appreciated.

Yes and with the upgraded 034 end links it is amazing. It makes the chassis fun to drive in more than a straight line. I look for corners now and it definitely is that much more improved over the stock skinny bar. I weighed both bars and there is a weight penalty (12 lbs vs 5.4 lbs) but that is the ONLY negative. Rides just as well, handles 100Xs better.

Cheers, just what I was after. Was maybe looking at KW adjustable lowering springs as well but will probably go 034 first.

Have you got air or DRC? And is there any compromise on ride quality as on the RS3 it really did make the chassis stiff

Have air, but no noticeable difference in either comfort or sport.

For those that went with the 034 rear sway route, what was the deciding factor vs eurocode front + rear?

In my case, I chose 034 because it seemed to address the understeer issue with the least modification to the car necessary. I also liked the quality of the hardware and that the bar is OEM black with just the lettering on the bar and markings on the billet brackets to give away that its aftermarket.

One thing that I didn't notice until the installation are the weight increases. The OEM bar is very light, and either aftermarket solution is heavy. I hate adding ANY weight to my cars, and the 23.8mm 034 bar is already 7 lbs heavier. The EC is likely heavier since its an even thicker 25.5mm and when adding the front 32mm bar, that's even more weight added.

There's an oversteer issue? Is that for the rs7 only? I'm probably not driving hard enough perhaps.

Sorry, understeer. It was early, typing while sleeping...
