Looks easy to fit, perhap this should be next on my list.

Rhyso or anyone else that's fitted one, does anything need to be drilled to fit them or are all the holes already there?

nothing needs to be drilled - you use the existing shock bolt (or one maybe provided - can't remember) and push through the droplinks and then tighten up  :smiley:

Neuspeed
Whiteline
Eibach

to name a few

i'm running the Whiteline Adjustable rear on mine - improves things no end  :smiley:

don't forget that ideally you don't want a thicker roll bar at the front than what you have without fitting one at the rear otherwise you'll INCREASE the understeer


This is my feeling too.  Although most kits you buy as a set, seem to come with a thicker front ARB than the rear!! :huh:
