Damm right it's worth it,even on 1.6 suspension it would make a massive improvement.I'm running about 40mm lower at the moment.

How come you split the set and didnt keep H&R front and rear ARB's Patch ?
Did you fit the front yourself aswell ???
And do i need droplinks also ?

My mate had a whiteline front arb fitted,and i had the neuspeed rear arb fitted,so we split the kit to complete both our cars.
You won't need to buy any droplinks,the fronts are fine,and you only need rear droplinks on the adjustable arb's.
I got it fitted at http://www.panelcare.co.uk/

Not quite sure what you want to know here,the H&R kit uses a 26mm front arb and a 21mm rear.Any uprated arb kit will be a huge improvement over the std set up.
