mk1 with mk2 ARB and adjustable droplinks.

More bloody suspension threads by me!!

Does anyone have the above setup and if so, did you adjust the drop links? I'm wondering if mine is setup right. I have my droplinks as short as they go, Is there a guide or can anyone tell me how long the droplinks should be? with a rev3 ARB I think its 22mm If I remember correctly.

i have the mk2 arb but not the adjustable droplink, just the camry/carina/celica ones on the rear with adjustable on the front. with the front i had to cut mine down a little to get to fit as they were too long. the sort i have is the sort that is a threaded bar with a plastic cover over the top, not sure where they came from now. if you have the solid bar ones i suppose its a cut and weld job?

Yup, I did the same as the lodgeman :)

are the lengths of the links important?, as far as i can understand as long as they are the same length they are doing relatively the same job no matter the angular position / length of each.. ?

i say no matter the position , if the arb was vertically aligned with the link it would have no travel/torsion and be rock solid. at the horizontal you have the most travel / biggest lever acting on the pivot / most responsive i'd imagine.
