its pretty low tbf!

They 16s though? i have no probs with the ARB as it is and im only id say 20-30mm off from you - you sure you need the droplinks that short??

My ARBs bust apparently the sleeves are gone, so im just gonna buy the venom motorsport hooped ARB its like £60 and it gets rid of the need for the drop links!
might be worth a look fro yourself

nice car though man

I'm them people ;)

Poly bush is a replacement made of polyurethane which on turn makes them stiffer than the standard rubber ones and should have a significantly longer lifetime. I prefer floflex over powerflex as they are cheaper and a little stiffer. Unfortunately floflex only make the wishbone nd console bushes for the 9n.

If the bushes move freely along the ARB, the ARB will also move across the car which means that the sleeves, or collars, or stops, have cracked open and the ARB is indeed as you've said U/S.
