Supersport top mounts, or similar "shallow" top mounts to drop car another 10mm?

Would I need adjustable ARB drop links as obviously the lower you go people say of course they're prone for driveshafts catching the anti roll bar... The drivers catches when I drop off a sort of small kerb at work to exit the carpark so think they'd be a must if I go down 10mm more? Or is it different because of the top mounts, I think I'd go for the full top mount kit from supersport...

Photoshops are a bit small, sorry lol but I think it'd be ok. Don't want it to destroy the ride though, I don't drive it hard or anything mind.

If you use top spring plates the ride should say the same as you are not shortening the travel.

Are they reliable, or will they wear my top mounts out quickly? Anyone used these before as a cheap alternative to lower the front?

I have used them all ok, loads of people run them, will not affect the top mount.

The only difference is the shape (flatter) so they lower the front more.

A brief bit of googling suggests your springs can clonk/creak with these fitted :-S

I had no issue's on my mk3.

Don't forget the front and rear arches are different heights on the bodywork as standard 

What?

As standard my front and rear looked different heights

The gap at the top suggests the top mounts are worn.

[Wayne]

yea they are and im replacing soon, but people have said its normal to have a gap after fitting coilovers?
just wanted to elimante the gap

To be honest this was my mk3 even with new top mounts, I believe having a gap is always an issue with coilovers.
