Hi
Has anyone got any measurements of where the base plate needs fitting on a mk4?

And any photos if possible
Thanks

Do front and back mounted jobbies work equally well?
Seems a no brainer if so. Mount from the front as it's the easiest option

Mine is and I have a arb all on rose jointed drop links for adjustment

Just out of interest, why do you want to use that sort of set up?

back mounted is usually better,think of the force on the tca when accelerating
what do a/r/bars work like
