Bigup Godspeed ARB's (14a)

[Chiffs-boy]

Hi all and Dan,

Firstly thanks to Dan for his super fast replys to messages and fast delivery.

My car spec at the present time is:-

Standard suspension
Standard rims with toyos (soon to be 17"enkeis and 235s)
Standard Brakes
FMIC
Walbro
AVC-R
Apexi filter
Uprated downpipe
Decat
HKS cat back silent hi power

Plus extras from Dan:-

BMC stopper
Front and rear arbs with front drop links and standard rear droplinks


Since fitting the arbs it has made a huge improvement to the way the car handles, lot less roll during cornering, feels more planted on the road. Not been on any high speed runs yet but at guess the car will feel more stabble then as well.
This is all with standard shocks and springs remember so with uprated items im sure it will improve the car even more.

The bmc stopper has also improved the braking which feels alot sharper and nicer to drive with.


Thanks to Dan and his efforts, keep up the good work:thumbs: :notworthy

They sound good.

Are you going to do a fitting guide for these:notworthy

Blimey, you really noticed the brakes imprive with the BMC stopper? Hmmm, might have to invest!

Hi Rich,

For the money the bmc stopper is worth it and does make a difference for sure. With bigger brakes and better pads i would expect it perform better/give a better pedal feel.:thumbs:



Hi Scott,

To be honest they are really easy to fit.

If you can get the car on a ramp it would be even easier, but here goes.

Rear first.
Jack the car up so you can get underneath.
Undo the droplink thats connected to the lower arm
Undo the main roll bar mount, 2 bolts on each side.
Remove the roll bar ( this is probably the hardest bit)

Removal:- I have a hks hi power exhaust and the car was only jacked on the diff using the standard crap scissor jack, wheels touching the floor still. ( not the safest but my proper jack is in storage at the moment)

With a bit of twisting and force the roll bar will come outover the top of the exhaust.

I used the standard rear drop links as spent to much money on other bits that month so swap them over or fit the new ones.

Refitting is the reverse of removal apart from. You need to use the original main roll bar bush clamp.

You also need to fit everything with the nut all loose and then lower the car so the roll bar is as the correct angle and then tighten all the nuts up.


The front is even easier to remove, although the standard droplinks where rusted on so replaced with new ones from dan, just remove the palstic under tray and do everything the same as the rear. Just no exhaust to get in the way.

Hope that helps:thumbs:
