Anti Roll Bars....

Fitted the eibach ARBs but along with the walk kit and KWv3s. You can feel the bars working in a bend when your carrying some speed into it. There a great mod for the car. The only problem i seem to be having is squeaking coming from the front bar which is a bit of a pain. They have only been on the car for a little over a month!
Is anyone else having this issue with them?

....Do you mean it's only when the suspension is put under compression? By hard braking too?
I had this problem but more because my Eibach ARB bushes were needing greasing and were also fooked after about 60k miles. I have WALK plus KW-V3's too.
I suggest checking your ARB bushes and U-bracket mounts. If they're new, whoever fitted them may not have greased 'em up enough.
HTH :happy2:

H&R are great kit - I had them on my last cars and they performed really well. Great bargain!
GazbutS3 - Mike & VWSpeed have just re-located to Manchester from Norwich, so as a one-man-band he's got a lot on his plate.. Always best to call him, rather than email. Mention my name and he'll sort you a deal too, he's a good friend of mine.
Autotech stuff, I know the guy who runs ops over in the States and he will ship direct to you and give a 10% discount - I forward an email and you do the rest yourself in terms of payment and delivery. Even with duty & the poor exchange it works out cheaper.
Squeaky bushes, they've possibly used something like copper grease instead of proper lube??? Shouldn't take you long to sort it..
Oh, and lastly - Robin's right.. you can set your ARBs to soft in the wet so you get a more progressive 'letting go' action. I wouldn't bother for the road, but I did it for a stinking wet track day at Donny last year :happy2:

The guys did say that they did have a few cars running the eibach ARBs that were squeaking.
I tend to find it when there not working ie straight road but going over bumps. Will have a look and see if they need greased. what is the best stuff to use on the bushes.

I had the same issue with the mk5 and Eibachs and as Mr Danze says it was down to the lube type
