What do people make of these?

Silly money for a bit of bling or a useful upgrade for the stock items that are impossible to remove in one piece?
Can adjustable Droplinks be used instead of uprated adjustable ARB that are costly and getting difficult to get hold of?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Ebay says they dont fit my car!

I cant see that these would offer a noticeable difference to stock as they are so short?

Well, for the price of these, I would much rather pay for the tried and tested ARBs. I know they can be a bit of a pain to get hold off, but im currently chatting to Stephen from GT4-Play and he hopes to get me another ARB beginning of next year from Whiteline.

Sorry cant be much use on whether they are useful of not. But I have just gone for the standard droplinks from Aceparts.

Stick with stock over that, also its the leverage that affects the arb not the drop link length

Whiteline ARB kits can be had from here...  m http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Whiteline-Fro ... 1829260353 m

I managed to get a set when they were dropped to AUS $400, so keep an eye on them for any reductions. They arrived within 7 days & DHL charged £50 import + £10 admin fee   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

That seems pretty emphatic.
They're just a bit of bling.
Nuff said.

You should use shorter anti roll bar links if you lower the car to keep the roll bar at the right hight

Dave comes in at the last minute with a great nugget.

Check the angle with standard and then check it again when the car is lowered. To be honest I wouldn't have thought it makes a noticeable difference with normal driving. I know my Tein coilovers have adjustable mounts for the  drop links.

I've got a set of these, Dave is right the adjustment is mainly to ensure that the anti roll bar stays close to parallel with the ground on a lowered car. Also when you have the car corner weighted you disconnect the droplinks, set the coilovers, after that you can adjust the length that makes sure that there is no unwanted load running accross the bar.

As people have said they have no effect at all on the roll bar rate (eg stiffness)

They are also blingy I suppose
