Need a new set of front anti-roll drop links my project. Be interested in peoples views on what type to go for before placing a order. Thanks Steve.

Leven every time. Transforms the car. Bloody expensive but you only buy them once. Combine these with decent poly bushes where the roll bar mounts to the chassis and the car will run more smoothly, sit flatter and you don't need as hard damping settings to keep the car under control. Win win except the initial pinch on the wallet.

Has to improve things slightly but can't see how it could 'transform' the car unless the old ones are truly knackered.
I have some Steve Heath rose jointed jobbies fitted.

You should have gone for those MK3 Mondeo Estate rear drop links I showed you in your workshop. Sealed ball joints both ends and at a fraction of the price..... biggrin

Obviously these just sort the rears out.....

So if I've got this correct I buy civic for the fronts and Mk 3 Mondeo's for the rear ?

Are they a straight swap or do you have to mod them in some way?

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Unless its a really late Chimaera 2001 ish the front anti roll bar is slightly wider then you need Honda Accord links ask me how I know frown Yeh I thought all the ARB's would be the same width but obviously not rolleyes

Alun, MK3 Mondeo ESTATE, must be ESTATE version. Will be fitting mine tomorrow. They are a straight swap, the decent ones off Ebay are about £25 for the pair.

Bang on, the Leven ones are they made of gold.

Anyway I'll be dropping the exhaust soon so I'll get some Mondeo estate ones in anticipation.

Top tips or what.
