Very nice :yes: Have you decided which ones? Coilovers or fixed drop?

Will defo be coilovers.

I was thinking either V-Maxx, AP or JOM. All about the same price but I think the V-Maxx ones require shorter droplinks that dont come with the kit, so its another ~£40-50 on top.

So I'm now swaying towards the AP's from Awsome.

Nice mate. Now I just need to get coilovers before you get the Milltek ;)

Must be tight fitting the ARB without stands or ramps...but it's nice being able to adjust it without jacking it up or anything. Which setting did you go for?

Yea, were are neck and neck till the weekend when the coilovers go on ;)

Yea it is. One wheel on the curb and 2 jack on the other side (one to lift car and one to support), only just had enough room.
I went for the middle setting for now and see what its like with the coilovers on.

Try fitting the ARB when your car is dropped on coilys ! had to put off fitting mine for a week coz i just cudnt get under it.
Ive got My ARB on the middle setting ,Low setting isnt worth putting on apparently and the High setting is to much apparently ,Not tried them out personally tho

I've been putting it off for about 2 weeks now due to the snow and ice.

I'll see what its like once the coilovers are on and I might try it on a different setting.

Stiffest setting is where it's at :yes:

Not at the mo for me due to a snapped strut top bolt on one side and a stripped bolt/or stripped strut top on the other side (at the front).

I will be trying the stiffest setting once coilovers are on ;).

Picking them up in the morning and hopefully the new bearings and bolts will be here in the morning too.

Dont think I'll get them on over the weekend so its prob gona be thursday/friday of next week before I can get them on.

Handling will be transformed since you saw it last time mate. Whiteline rear ARB + Seat Sport front strut brace + Coilovers = :drive1: [B)]
