Are they relatively the same price as the ones u supply?
The picture is wrong on that link.

If you show me a genuine cheaper price, I can match prices.

Doug - can the snub mount adjustment be done with the front of the car still on? (i.e. from underneath maybe?) - if not, what's involved?

yes it can be done from under the car. it is the bracket on the frotn panel you need ot pull down hard on teh snub.

Cool - ta! Does it require any bolt loosening malarkey - or do you just bend the metal of the bracket?

loosen the bolts, pull the bracket down hard - tighten bolts.

Well spotted Doug
The picture in the ebay listing is a generic H+R anti roll bar picture, thank you H+R.

This thread has got me thinking ... one of the first mods, I think I remember doing was the H&R ARB, but, got me thinking, did I??? hmm, I have taken some pics of the front and rear, and as you can see the rear certainly has H&R printed on it, but the front???? hmm ... can anyone comment on what I may have fitted all these years ago?? or not!

Ohh, FFS! :oops:

Right, panic over, and pictures updated :lol:

So, guess I will change my question to, I assume this is not the large of the two H&R kits! :P
