sorry to hijack, I'm thinking of doing this as well on my classic. Does anyone know if it will firm things up well, or will a strut brace need to be fitted too?

I changed the rear and it transformed the car

I had to use an angle grinder to cut off the old droplinks as they didn't want to come off!

Undoing the drop links can be a real pain. It took me approx 3 hrs, a pair of mole-grips and alot of swearing

Ideally you will get new bolts with the drop-links... so it doesn't matter when they snap !

I'd say an hour including coffee, and wash handies afterwards !

P.S. I had to jack the passenger side rear up a little to slide the new bar round the exhaust !
