I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to knock up gus. Probe rear drop links and a custom roll bar.

Get a civic esi rear roll bar, that's what I'm planning on using. Will bolt in stock position then just use adjustable drop links.

How much thicker is the CIVIC item?

I was looking at getting a custom 20mm Rear arb made and using the standard links etc?

Any1 got pics of an aftermarket/uprated rear arb?

Gus,

Will a a standard rear ARB fit?

I'm on MEF stuff on the rear and use a standard rear ARB connected by some machined clamps to the rear most multi link arms.

I came across the rough drawing I did ages ago a month ago. I'll see if I can find it.

I tried running without an ARB but I too found that there was too much body roll, hence why I made the clamps.

I only run across 1 bar either side. Gareth Lloyd's race car only ran like this also many years ago.

I run the standard ARB. A Series 2 roll bar is thicker but you will need the mounting brackets and bushes as well as the link rods.

I'll see if I have any pictures of my set up on Photophucket.

Edit: can't find any! If you're not in a rush, I might be underneath it in about 2 weeks so I'll be able to get some pictures then.
