Eibach ARB's
Anyone running the Eibach ARB's?
If so, what are the front and rear bar diameters?
Are they adjustable ... how many holes front and rear?
What Model Year is your car?
What do you think of the kit so far?
Originally posted in suspension, but it's like a morgue in there.

Thanks 53WRX, there are a few reasons I am interested in the Eibach ones:
They are currently going for an absolute bargain at some suppliers (under £250 for both front and rear bars, bushes, etc.).
They are heavily powder coated (like the Perrins), so should resist winter road salt a lot better than the Whiteline.
Although I like the Perrin's, they are more expensive and I am not sure about the welded on adjustment holes (I think it was Zak who said he has seen one of these welds fail recently).
Eibach are well regarded for the quality of their springs, so I am working on the assumtion their ARB's should be of similar quality.
Mind not made up yet, just looking at the options, hence the question.

I fitted Eibach front and rear arb's to my '95 classic last year. I don't recall any adjustment possibilities, and as to diameter they were a lot more substantial when compared to the originals. They have made a big difference to the way the car handles. I had more fun at Castle Coombe this year than I did last year, that is for sure!
