Carparts4less for about £300 after 10% discount on performance parts.
My commission is but a tenner if you please.
I've had them on my Coupe for a couple of months and played around with a few settings. The rear is too stiff on the hardest setting and ideally I'd set it on the softest but the standard droplinks won't work. I'd need to get some aftermarket adjustable length ones with ball joints as it's the angle that's the killer. In other words just use the middle hole on the back. I'm still deciding on the front whether the softer or harder setting is best. I started with hard then went soft and now I can't get the rear softer without spending £130 on droplinks I'm thinking of going hard again to redress the balance as it's a bit slidy at the rear.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into this.
Did your kit come with bushes? Or is it a case of ordering some poly ones at the time of ordering?
Yes, I've posted on your other thread and told you to go for it.
The rear only really fits properly on the middle of 3 settings with standard droplinks, you'd need aftermarket with ball joints to reach the other settings. I did manage to stretch it to the stiffest but not the softest. The front I have on the stiffest of the two settings although I might drop it back to the softer one as I have a bit too much understeer. Been playing with geometry though first as I like the flat front end that the ARB gives on hard. I first had the bars on worn standard suspension and they were too hard for it, with the B12 they complement each other very well.
