Had 25mm front and 22mm rear ARB's fitted and on only second run out my Steve Heath rear nearside drop-link snapped. The top eye bolt that attaches to the chassis mount sheared. Could just be bad luck - they are about 10-11 years old. So I obviously need to replace both sides (unless I can just replace the eye bolts?). So anybody running 22mm rear ARB's, what make of drop-link are you using? I do a few track days each year with 500lb front and 450lb rear springs and Toyo R888 rubber so got to be strong enough to survive.

Many thanks for replies. Spoke to Mat Smith who recommends Mondeo drop links and at only £20 each are a bargain, particularly when compared to Leven's
at £95.93 and Racetech's at £90 a pair. Very reassured that Peter is running the same with his 22mm ARB. Phoned and emailed around many TVR specialist regarding uprated ARB's all said the same, Racetech Direct are the only suppliers, so had to open the wallet even wider.

I've seen the Mondeo links on Peters car with the 22 mm ARB.
