P.S. Got the occassional knocking noise coming from the front and rear since the ARB and bushes were fitted. TTShop have assured me that they will look into why this occuring...any ideas/pointers?

MAT ED30:
chances are your front drop links are banging about or the front arb has not been lined up correct and as i ahd same problem whn mine was done so had new droplinks and new arb clamps fitted alll solved, rear is the same droplinks again i had this happen too :smiley:

Bad news all round... :sad1:
There's no obvious reason for the knocking...had a good look underneath. There were no signs of anything appearing to be loose, or rubbing. The drop links did look suspiciously weak and at an odd angle. So no closer to resolving the issue.
I think I will replace the drop links to see if this improves things...any recommendations? Presumably, the ARB clamps are to be replaced with OEM ones?
Moving on to the brake kit...to cut a long story short it basically fell apart when reversing out of the workshop. Believe it or not, one of the piston broke (not the seal) and leaked brake fluid eveywhere. I'm sending the kit back for a refund...had enough messing around. I won't be recommending Hi-Spec to anyone.
Some photos of how the kit looked (before it was taken off) along with the TTShop crew inspecting to see where the knocking may be coming from.
For the time being, I'm back to the stock brakes...the ones precariously close to the bin.
I'm now going for the RS4 brake kit - which is mega-bucks...but before parting with the cash is there anything I need to be aware of/or consider?

Photos of the bits I recently got fitted...all eye candy. :happy2:
The WALK - has to be one of the best mods you can get.
Check out the blackcurrant flavoured wishbone bushes - installed to counter the stresses of having the ARBs fitted.
Forge coolant pipes fitted. Shame most of them are out of sight unless you peer closer in the engine cabin.
Haven't worked out how to get a photo of the Forge DV just yet...
Hurdy:
Some great work going on there :happy2:
