Fronts work well, don't bother with rears; last thing a T350 needs is a stiffer rear end under roll. 
Hi,The reason I was having a look was that I have fitted Nitrons which are set to a pretty soft point to improve the ride on the B roads around here. But I do get a fair amount of roll through the bends which I had hoped could be made better without loosing the softer ride.
It is due its service in a couple of weeks so I thought I could make the changes now before the geo is checked.

The ARB drop links will improve the roll as the standard droplinks spend most of their time compressing rubber bushes rather than applying the anti roll force. As a result the shocks and springs spend a lot of time compensating for the ARB deficiencies which is why the suspension is often quite hard. Softening the suspension will improve the ride quality but at the expense of roll.
As many of my customers have been able to soften their suspension after fitting the droplinks without increasing the roll, I would expect them do to the same in your case.

The standard T350/Tamora springs are soft for a TVR (the Sag's are much firmer) but with relatively stiff a/r bars front and rear, so it's already a fair way towards what you're aiming for.
But after trying the solid ARB links on the rear, though they may improve matters on other TVR models with similar suspension, my personal conclusion after testing on road & track is they aren't helpful on the T350/Tamora setup, only because the rear a/r bar is already stiffer than most and replacing the soft bushes with solids just makes the rear slightly more snappy.

No news, Paul double drove the Cerbera with Dad and gave us some feedback for improvements. I think the rear anti-roll bar is going to be disconnected shortly as a result.
Its given us an idea of just how much pace the car has, and how much we'll need to learn to get to Pauls level of driving ability.
He did say the Cerb was a 'good drift car' before croft. 
I havent yet had the full de-brief of how it performed on track, but the time was pretty impressive.

Was fun, and very good of Jeff to share. You're too kind about skill - more a lack of imagination on fast sections (where the road tyres gave precious little grip i have to say) elsewhere the datalogger showed our times were v. similar.Its given us an idea of just how much pace the car has, and how much we'll need to learn to get to Pauls level of driving ability.

On Cerbie, if springs are uprated as Jeff's considering, the rear arb may be the right comparative rate (but Jools is the expert).
... wandered off topic here a bit I guess
