Default B6 Hard gullwing arms

I have just bought some hard gullwing arms front and rear for my b6 and got to wondering what the actual advantage of having them is. Are they just tougher than the kit ones? Do the improve handling by being stiffer. Just wondering really.

Cheers

Hi,

The hard arms should make the car more reactive in high traction / high speed tracks.

But because they are hard they break easier than the stock arms.

Hi
Not sure what you mean? I took my stock gullwings and replaced with the hard gullwings. I thought it was the b6d that had the different shock tower? I have the b6. Although correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards

Towers are either for gullwing or flat arms, not for the std or hard arms.
