I'm interested in this too. i seem to remember a while back someone said they weren't any good but i may be wrong.
There are no pictures of their compression strut kit, so i'm not sure exactly where they pick up. Ive seen TCAs before with a threaded boss welded on for an antiroll bar but they dont sell sierra TCAs

There's no pics is there? My mate told me about rally design as he's got compression struts on his mk 1 escort and he had to weld on the boss but said it's one of the best mods he's done.

not sure if its what your talking about but I have fitted compression struts (compbrake) instead of the arb , but I am running coilovers .

these use the fitting points that the arb uses

There is some mounts about where you can run a arb from the std mounting point along with comp struts
I ain't got a arb on mine at the moment
I just have comp struts/coil overs and the legs are strapped so the wheel only drops about 2"/3" when jacked up

How does your car react under hard braking and cornering mate?

Lol
I will tell you when I use it .
I used to know someone that used to race a high power saph
And he had the same set up and it worked well as he was up top a fair bit
Hence why I decided to go this way ,
But it will prob" be harsh on the road
