That's right, the same thing.
Whiteline used to paint their parts a pale blue, changed to silver about 12 months ago, you can tell old/new stock this way.
Both companies very good in my opinion and experience, especially the MRT top mounts.

cheers for that, i suspected as much, just wanted confirmation before i splash out. Will the roll bars and anti lift kit be all i need for fast road use or should i go for eibach`s as well. Don`t want to spend the extra if i don`t really need to.

This can be a slippy slope!

Anti roll bars, ALK, Eibache @ - 25mm drop, Very Good Tyres and a bloody good alignment job will make for a very nice road car of our favorite car!

Stop there and enjoy, as to go further is ££££££££ and possible ruination of the basic car.

I got mine from Jap Innovations. Also try Scoobymania.

A Cusco one would do the same job.

I'm sure P/S will charge about £120 for the anti roll bar, but you need to replace the anti roll bar mounts as well, as the bar is larger in diameter. I think it will cost around £160 plus fitting.

Hope this helps, and it makes the world of difference

If it's a classic, then you shouldn't need to replace the mounts. The new bar comes with a new set of bushes. This allows the thicker bar to be used in the OE mounts.

Replacing the mounts should see some more improvement, but I haven't tried those personally so can't comment.

Yes, I`m going to replace the standard mounts too. I didn`t have to, as Ozzy says, but for a few quid more... might aswell.

I strengthened my own rear mounts by welding in a 3 mm web across the feeble pressed strip stock mounting, bit of fun really and noticed NO difference! This is what MRT do and you pay ££££££££££££££.
