Rear Upper Arms - RRS?
Hi All
I'm after some advice please.
Got to change the rear upper arms on my 2008 D3. Read about a few using RRS parts. What will be the advantage and are they a straight swap?
Thanks in advance

Straight swap and give a firmer ride
Just get some new bolts with them as you might have to cut the old ones out D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten

Firmer or harsh? Don't want to upset the balance of the car. Are they longer lasting?

Ive just had mine done last week, the old ones were pretty bad so any change would make a big difference. I wouldn't say they were harsh, just firm and perfectly acceptable ride on 19's.
I would do it again and I like a comfy ride.

That's good to hear RCMike, I've already ordered the RRS ones

I bought Eurospares arms and interestingly have genuine LR bushes in them!
All good, looking forward to getting them on the car. Not sure what improvement to expect as I was unaware the rear uppers were shot.
