I purchased the very same kit from hansdaal..Best upgrade you will get for the money ,i was very surprised how they performed on the track..If interested I still have a kit for sale used calipers, NEW 278 mm OEM Ford discs and OEM cosworth pads.Kit comes with smaal spacers to centralise discs and High tensile bolts. Straight fit under 15 inch wheels.

Don`t forget the braided hoses ..

The disc I used for a 283mm diameter disc conversion with Granada Cossie calipers is the front disc from a 2wd Sierra Cosworth. Part references (amongst others) are Quinton Hazell BDC3728 for a plain vented disc or the one I used EBC GD483 which is a grooved and dimpled disc.
Here you can see it fits easily in a 15" Estoril front wheel

How does the suspension move up and down with the anti roll bar connected ..Does it move inside the anti roll bar bushes..Here you can see it fits easily in a 15" Estoril front wheel
Still got a slight nod and trying to work it out ..

With the ARB connected if the suspension compresses or extends equally both sides of the car then the ARB rotates in the mounting bushes. If the compression or extension is not equal side to side such as when the car is in a state of roll ie when cornering then the ARB becomes a torsion bar and twists to provide the anti-roll effect. Still got a slight nod and trying to work it out ..
So for example a car turning to the left will roll to the right, the left hand suspension will be in extension and the right hand in compression, the ARB arms will be pulled down on the left and pushed up on the right putting the roll bar into a state of twist. Its the roll bars resistance to twisting that provides the reduction in body roll.
As for your 'nod' I dont see how the ARB would have any influence. If its a low frequency nodding rebound setting maybe too soft? Perhaps you need one or two more clicks on your dampers?
