So genuine peugeot ones are the best ones to get? One of mine is knocking, is it recommended to replace in pairs or can you just do the one? Any idea how much they are these days? ________________________________________ Astor 6 |

Are these Lemforder good ones then? They are easy enough to change in drive way with limited tools? ________________________________________ Astor 6 |

Yes,Droplinks are very accessible and if you cant get them off cut them or jck them up still they give in  Pretty sure those TRW ones are what peugeot will give you though, although lemforder are fine ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I picked up a pair on eBay for £11 posted in October. They were identical to the ones that came off the car which looked pretty old. Only one needed doing but at that price I thought I may as well do both.________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

The ARB is mounted on the subframe,which when you lower a car the whole body/shell is lowered,so the ARB mounting point is lower. But as WelshPug says it will just rotate in its mount,so not sure what your trying to explain? ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

The arb wont be level all round, it would be lower at the subframe area so longer drop links would help to level it up. Not sure how it would be affected by this though.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug. Black 306 GTI 6 Standard, was 60k mileage, bargain!!

Ideally you'd want drop links that are longer by the same amount as the car has been lowered, yes. In reality, unless you're lowering the car a stupid amount (where drop link lengths are not the first problem you'll come across) you'll probably be fine. If you want to be really anal about it you could work out the loss in roll stiffness from having the ARB sitting at the wrong angle and use that to justify correcting the drop link lengths, but no-one would give a s**t and you would never in a million years actually notice the difference. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Time will tell. Like I say they appeared identical to the ones I took off which had clearly been on there for a while. Small details like the shape of the rubber boot and circlip etc. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
