So I ordered a rear arb for my bb4 last week which should have been here by now . so I called them up and apparently whiteline have got in contact and told them that it will only fit BA8 4WS . Does anyone no if it will fit my bb4 .
Cheers in advance

Yes it should fit. The BA8 is the 2.2 non-VTEC and all suspension should be interchangeable with any 2.2 VTEC 4th gen.
I have Whiteline front and rear ARB's on my BB4..

Great I did think it would fit but just wanted to double check. 4 wheel steering doesn't make a difference either does it ?

Where did you get a thicker one from? On the whitline site they say 22mm which they say is OEM sized.

You would have thought Whiteline would know it's interchangeable thoughtout all 4th gens. Alway thought it was strange they decided to pick one of the rarest 4th gens to base it on.

I think I had this discussion with someone when I bought it, it was an ebay old stock jobbie. it had 24mm on the Whiteline packaging though (long thrown away im afraid) and I measured it to be 24mm thick too
