I run std shockers, Eibach springs and H&R ARB's, 32/21's.

I think the suspension is absolutely spot on. At times I think it may be a little soft but it holds the road like a shitty blanket and any harder may be uncomfortable on longer runs. I am running the soft option on the rear ARB's but thinking about changing drop links to run the harder option to see what that does to turn in.

Do u need to upgrade the droplinks if running the harder setting Rob?
Been running mine for a month on the hardest seting with standard drop links and everythings fine so far(touch wood :bash: ) Took a little getting used to over the standard roll bars because the back is so much more solid. I would get them done asap. very good mod :)

I could get my rear ARB's to work with the drop links on hard setting. The drop links foul the driveshafts. Thee modded ones stop the fouling. Are you sure you are running on the harder setting if you have std drop links?

i think some one should determine exactly what 1 of the 2 holes there using on the rear arb so we know whats hard and whats the oem setting..
my understanding is that the hole towards the front of the car is the hard setting and the hole nearest the bend in the arb is the oem setting..is this correct..??
