Default Standard drop links with uprated arb?

Hi, hopefully gonna fit my rear 22mm adj arb to my classic over the weekend with new whiteline bushes. Question is, do I really need the alloy drop links or will I still see good gains with the oem ones?

No good having a stiffer bar and not changing the links, standard links are too flexible so you won,t reap the benefit,s of the new bar..

22mm bar is ok with std drop links..........the biggest forces are thru the chassis mount points not the drop links. Sure solid drop links will be a bit better, but not essential.

I would do the job properly and fit uprated drop links.

CDF Racing ones are very good quality and very popular:

I'm after the same advise from others. I too want to stiffen up the body roll and understeer of my newage. I have posted the same question elsewhere and got good feedback but have just seen this post.

Just like the original post here first thing is to fit a rear ARB, which size I'm not sure. Question is with the rear ARB should a front ARB be also fitted or should the rear be sufficient enough.

Should both the front and rear droplinks be changed or if fitting a rear ARB then should the rear droplinks being changed with it.

I suppose it can depend on various situations but for me the car tends to understeer gives me body roll when driving round long bends at speed.

Cheers,
