“Recently purchased some diff mounts for my S2, I was very impressed with the quality of the parts, and the fit was perfect. After seeing the quality of those diff mounts etc, I don’t want to use anyone else. For this very reason, I will be placing another order for even more parts next week.”

Product Description

Anti-squat suspensions are used to reduce body squat by altering the rear suspension so that the forces resulting from accelerating pass through the control arms and suspension linkage rather than through the coilovers or struts.

In PQ35 cars, rear suspension we can define our anti-squat by inclination of a line which connects the wheel center and chassis mounting point of the trailing arm. Most of the cars are lowered with aftermarket suspension components. In the picture below the car is lowered and OEM wishbone (and our +0 setup) in MQB car has anti-squat line pointing down (red line), it means that the car has negative anti-squat value. It causes excessive suspension displacement under acceleration and reduces responsiveness.

To correct this we have come up with an adjustable rear trailing arm. When the wishbone in the car is used in +20 setup anti-squat value (green line) is corrected and it is back to factory settings.

If the car wishbone is used in +40 setup anti-squat value (blue line). It makes suspension move even less, thus resulting in faster response of the car from stand still or when exiting the corner. Also when there is less suspension movement camber and toe are less affected (better predictability of the car).

With the increase of anti-squat You also get higher values of rear anti-lift. It keeps Your rear suspension low under braking, which increases grip and car predictability. This allows You to brake later and go into a corner with higher speed and confidence.

Product functionalities:
– 3 position anti-squat and anti-lift adjustability (0, +20, +40)
– OEM wishbone bends during normal operation and this increases when the car is lowered or camber/toe is increased. Our CNC billet wishbone has spherical bearings to avoid that and it is also big increase of stiffness results in better handling in corner exit and under acceleration.
– High quality, metal spherical bearings instead of rubber bushings, so You will not lose the geometry set when doing alignment.
– Same weight as OEM regarding additional functionality

Because of the adjustable design it is necessary to use dedicated rear sway bar adjustable end links. OEM and other aftermarket rear end links will not work.

Features:
– This is a bolt-in kit, no modifications necessary to the car.
– Wishbone comes pre assembled
– CNC machined arm out of 7075 t6 aluminum
– TIG welded high strength steel mountings.
– parking brake line brackets
– Includes all necessary parts to mount on the car.

What is included:
– two aluminium wishbones anodized in black with spherical bearings
– two steel adjustment chassis mounting bracket in black
– two steel adjustment trailing arm steel bearing carrier in black
– two dedicated rear sway bar adjustable end links
– bolts

frequently asked questions

Is this product in-stock?

We keep 100s of Verkline products in-stock at any one time. If you urgently require a product please message the team prior to ordering to confirm stock availability.

 Can I install this myself?

Installation instructions are provided for almost all products to aid with installation.

What’re the benefits of adjusting the roll centre?

Without getting too deep into it, generally speaking, the higher the roll centre the less the vehicle will roll, the lower the roll centre the more the car will roll. Talking about road cars which are adapted to motorsport, on lowered cars without adjustable roll centres (pretty much all cars without motorsport suspension) they tend to roll more than standard. Raising the roll centre higher repositions the roll centre so that there is less roll.

What’re the benefits of adjusting the camber?

Precisely setting the camber on your car is essential for optimising the tyres contact patch under load which evenly distributes the forces across the tyre. Too much, or too little camber can cause the load to be distributed more on the inner or outer edge which can lead to accelerated wear and poor performance.

What’re the benefits of adjusting the toe?

Precisely setting the toe on your car is essential for optimising multiple aspects which contribute to performance such as corner entry handling, tyre wear (heat) and straight line stability.

What’re the benefits of adjusting the castor?

Precisely setting the castor is very important as this can increase the amount of outside wheel negative camber gain and inside wheel positive camber gain when cornering, further improving the tyre contact patch, whilst running less ‘static’ camber for reduced tyre wear in a straight line.

What’re the benefits of adjusting bump steer?

Bump-steer adjustment can reduce or increase the amount of toe change there is with suspension travel.

What’re the benefits of adjusting camber gain?

Camber-gain adjustment can reduce or increase the amount of camber change there is with suspension travel.

 What’re the benefits of eliminating deflection?

Factory rubber bushes allow for the suspension to move around in ways that allow the wheel alignment to change as they load up, making your car feel less precise and often more unstable. With the Verkline spherical bearings there is no movement which results in a direct and consistent feeling.
