Default anti roll bar and drop links

what benifit would u get from changing the antiroll bar and drop links on a newage, would u just not be changing it for basically the some product but maybe a different material, think my ARB is creaking after changing the rear shock that wher buggered, thinking about getting the whiteline arb and drop links jsut looking for a wee bit of advive if its worth it.

There is a lot to gain from fitting an uprated Whiteline rear roll bar and steel (or alloy) drop links.

The car will change to a bar better more stable car that will be safer to drive quickly.
There are several sizes to choose from but i would think a 24mm diameter one is best for you. Cheap easy to fit mod, and while it is done, check-out that creek as the mechanic probably did not disturb the roll bar to fit the dampers.

It is the the most cost effective mod I have done - and I've done hundreds of mods over the last four years. White line 22mm adjustable ARB and any solid drop link will transform your ride. Do it.

Try all the hole positions starting with the innermost ones which will give the softest roll stiffness and work up carefully. Bet you end up on the middle hole!

I thought the 'inner' shortest holes were the stiffest settings..?

OOps!
Yes you are perfectly correct!

Start with the holes at the END of the bar.

Put eibach front and rear arb, rear drop links and front and rear strut braces on my classic.

Made a huge difference to the car.

24mm is quite thick, I'd say you'll be on the softest ones or the back will come round to meet you whenever you lift off suddenly in the wet whilst cornering.
