Title: Anybody running H&R 28mm / 24mm? Thoughts on them?
Post by: GTI-Ross on May 06, 2014, 06:53:40 pm
Hey guys,

Are any of you running the H&R 28mm / 24mm ARB's on your MK5 / MK6 platform. I am suppose to be getting them fitted tomorrow, but I have just been reading some other review that i didnt see when ordering about them been too stiff  and harsh for bumpy or wet roads.

Just looking for some reassurance that i haven't made a big mistake not going for the 26mm /22mm combo.

Also Front on Soft and Rear on hard best set up? Hard being the lower of the two holes. (N8KOW advised)  :smiley:

Settings as Stattlers supplied & fitted it for me...u can't go wrong with these mate
