I have an MY06 wagon with PPP and have the whiteline drop links & 24mm ARB on the middle slot. Roll is greatly reduced ( I still have standard springs) and in the wet there is much oversteer fun the be had. I don't see any down sides unless you don't like a bit of oversteer.
On my last bug-eye fitted the same kit but then added prodrive springs. Grip went through the rood but the fun element was removed.
If I were you I'd run a 22mm on the tighest slot or a 24mm on the middle
You'll likely get more reponse to this Q in the Suspension section

On stiffest setting the ride can be a bit harsh over ridges in the road, but get an adjustable bar for the kids comfort.... and ten minutes gets you a better set-up.

Yes used to have this set up on my old MY05, completely transformed the car.
Infact I still have the solid drop links and the Whiteline ARB sat in my garage as I put the car back to standard when I sold it.
Make me an offer on them if you want - before I but them on fleabay

this link seems a fair price, I have only had decals off them though and service and delivery was spot on

I like oversteer (when you have space to play) but I don't want to make the car dangerous or be overcautious. My previous 205 gti was a great car (Quaife, upgraded rear ARB, springs, shocks etc.) as you could play with lift off oversteer but you had to be cautious on the wet. As long as you respected the laws of physics though it was much more fun than my WRX and more rewarding to drive.
Was the car better in handling after fitting the prodrive springs and what do you mean by 'the fun was removed'? With which setup was the car more progressive at the limit? That's the most important point for me for an everyday-occasional track day car.

I've got solid rear droplinks, plus the Whiteline 24MM ARB fitted to my bugeye (and the uprated metal mounts for it). Left it on stiffest setting - understeer is virtually eliminated, and on track the other day I had some great oversteer. Very recommended mod, the stiffer the better IMO. This mod plus 4-wheel alignment will also improve and even out your tire wear (unless too much negative camber is dialled in during the alignment)
