Cheers Scraggles - it's only a track car. Has KW Clubsports on it and was wondering about just a rear AR bar . I still have a fair bit to do on it before I'll be happy -bushes, AR bar, clutch,diff on and on .

I'll take a look at the sliding options. I'd gone for 3 over 2 for more adjustment but if there is more then I'll look .
Off to Oulton on Friday 13th so hope i don't hit the tyre wall - lol

Isnt your car really low? If so and it has little suspension travel, then an ARB will be doing little anyway as there will be next to no 'roll' with your shocks stiff and the lack of suspension travel... If anything it'll make inside wheels lift and lose traction? Removing any preload it may have would be good, although i doubt it has any...

No???

It is very low - probably a bit too low TBH but it defo needs the links as the ball end is well stressed . I can weight the car properly with these for just me in it or with a passenger so that then the ARB can do just that .
I will probably keep the front std and go for the Ireland rear as that looks superb and again fullly adjustable .
Giving it neutral bias will let the coils do their work 100% - that's the theory .

I'll let you know if it rolls - it will - after Friday ( I'm actually kind of hiding from the car as I've just sparked a wire on the main loom drilling the bulkhead ! - It started , so I put the drill down and am sat inside now !!! ) -lol

all fitted but not set up yet - had to do a GTT cai in the middle of doing it . Fitted my TSW engine damper too after that but the jack plates have no toggles -boohoo. OR no stickers ! I love stickers God damn it - I pay good money for them ! - lol

Mike - I saw your list of new goodies and googled them - nice ! - What do you do with your Mini having that beast for the track ? Shame your not in UK with our tracks and rain!
