need advise on whitline arb

[M4D M4X]

guys after 2 months ov waiting 4 this 2 arrive i finally ad it so decided 2 fit it when the weather was fine. So started 2day an followed the instructions an noticed tha the bar was 2 long. So wanted some measurements from some one with a rear arb 2 measure the distance ov the bar where its adjustable think u can get the idea from the pic. I cant do nothin till monday when i get bk in contact wiv demon tweeks hope they hav 1 in stock 2 replace as i dont wan a wait another 2 months .

 

[drhowser]

Jenic has exactly the same problem.

He's also told me that tweeks have no more in stock and are planning on re-selling the bar when he returns it to them!

 

[Fred@BTM]

95cm approx

 

[M4D M4X]

Cheers guys mines measured at 103 cm so way off :-(. Think tha is abit dirty ov tweeks 2 b sellin it bk out if ther is already a problem wiv it do u know if tweeks pay 4 the parcel 2 b delivered bk 2 them or it's at our own cost?. Do u know ov any other ppl tha sells these as I hate tweeks anyway as there a rip off so might just get a refund lol bloody typical pulled out ov the group buy an still hav 2 wait 4 another.

 

[drhowser]

He's said he's getting completely refunded, but maybe drop him a pm to clarify?

I might still have a spare bar from this batch, let me know if you're interested and I'll find out monday.

 

[Fred@BTM]

will it not fit on the outside of the drop links?

 

[jenic]

will it not fit on the outside of the drop links?

It will but rubs on the bottom of where the spring sit

We actually fit mine with a bit of rope twisted around a spanner to bend it in and the amount of tension was unbelievable.

Phone tweeks first thing monday and speak to dan in customer services, tell him you have the same problem as mike jenic and it is obviously a bad batch. Might make them do something if 2 of us complain!

I'm getting a courier paid for by them to return it and a full refund inc delivery.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^lengthen the drop links?

Not sure bout tha idea as there will b loads ov tension On them so could end up snappin them. Would rather a kit tha would work straight away as they r surpose 2 an not hav 2 botch it

 

[jenic]

lol

Obviously a bad batch from whiteline.

Tweeks dont want to find a solution so jumping in on the group buy seems the only thing to do now

He means using the nuts on the droplinks, not welding a bar to the top lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

Tweeks buy from the same people as Balance do, its whitline's f**k up, shame a container only comes in every 2months

 

[M4D M4X]

Jenic cheers 4 the info will get on 2 them Monday an will spk 2 the right person how long ago did u hav ur kit might ov been out ov the same batch as I only had mine Wednesday.

Got it wednesday i think, was only a few days ago anyway, tried to fit last night and spoke to dan this morning. They are picking it up monday.

I have also emailed whiteline, I was going to call them last night but couldn't be bothered lol

Whiteline should make these specially and send them by air to their distributors here, but it wont happen, not like they need french car customers in the uk, we must be one of their smallest markets tbh

 

[M4D M4X]

lol

but ain't the group buy more expensive?

 

[jenic]

About £30 more, who cares, by the time the whitelines come it'll be winter.

£185 Posted for a custom ARB With more adjustment than the Whiteline

Looking at the last week of this month, at the moment five black and five yellow.

Have a look through the thread for some pictures.

 

[M4D M4X]

Guys cheers 4 all ur help . Iv phoned dan from demon tweeks an they hav admitted tha they had a bad batch so they r pickin the kit up 2morrow, they give me the option ov a refund or exchange so decided 2 hav a exchage. As Iv still got 2 get my ast coilovers fit my roll cage an spray the inside an outside ov the car an then hav the car stickered up so goin 2 b about 2months until it's all finished :-(. If the car was done I think I would ov jumped in the group buy, so again cheers 4 all ur inputs.

 

[jenic]

No info on the above m8. I'm not in a rush anyway so not bothered if I don't get it yet

 

[superbenji88]

I've just got an email about this.

Not happy to be honest as I wanted it fitted for my track day next week.

Wouldn't mine a second hand one!

 

[biojo]

^lengthen the drop links?

Couldnt you just turn the L brackets other way to push the bar down away from where spring sits?

 

[M4D M4X]

it wont make that much diff anyway as the bar is 7cm longer than it should b

 

[M4D M4X]

Guys cheers again 4 all ur advise parcel force picked up the old whiteline bar tuesday mornin just walked in the house an low an behold iv had another delivered so just checked it out an had a look if i was goin 2 b facein the same problem but 2 my surprise it's all fine so jenic maybe u should ov asked 4 a replacment as I wasn't expectin it 2 b so fast

 

[jenic]

I am well and truly gutted, I wasnt even offered a replacement!

Is it the right size, money is back in my bank now and I have the group buy one on order, hopefully will have it within a week.

[jenic]

I'll email them i think, wont help but will make me feel better lol

I think because I was the first to call about it they pretty much thought i was an idiot who couldn't work out how to fit it.
