I still got the standard anti-roll bar and just "polybushed it". Its also fitted incorrectly, but feels fine. Wouldn't bother with the hassle unless its being tracked or you really want to, or if the car is in bits anyway and you might as well.

Nice, anal isn't censored :cool:

Yer, sounds good. If you can, then do it. I got need too, but if I had known before I did the conversion, then would have fitted a G60 one when the subframe was out. Ahhh well.

It's likely i will get an uprated one rather than standard G60 i just dont want it to be too stiff and cause loads of understeer as im going to need all the traction i can get. :smiley:

all a matter of personal opinion and what you use the car for. proper racers often remove the roll bar altogether and put stiffer springs on instead! fwiw i have mk3 widtrack front running gear + eibach roll bars and its great, 50-60mm lowering on there too. (well, its 40mm kit, but abf makes it 50mm+ due to its heavyness  :grin:)

Ive been looking at the Eibach kits RJ.
Was a little confused as to how the rear one fits?It looks like its held on with some massive jubilee clips :grin:

yep thats basically it, they're mikalore clamps which are a bit better than jubilees. at the outside its held on by the lower shock bolts, 2 longer ones are supplied in the kit
