Compression strut kit
 
Are they worth having on a 2wd saph?!

Going through a full resto and was wondering weather it's worth doing away with the arb and having these instead?!

Changing most things for new so thought I'd ask!!

I'm looking into this as well for mine. From what I've read it's only worth doing if you fit a bladed roll bar as well

For a road car?
No. They're hard mounted at chassis and TCA and transmit a lot of NVH.
You'll also need to find an ARB solution especially if running road biased suspension, and then it can start to get (unnecessarily) expensive!

Good top mounts and adj TCA's will provide good adjustability for your geo set up, but not at the expense of ride comfort. The H14 arb with poly bushes is also a good option.

Cheers

Perfect answer!!!

What's the h14 arb not heard of it?!!


Ignore just done a Google search its the 2wd one which I already have lol :)

Cool. Yes RS500 & Sapph iirc.
Gives a bit more castor (aids high speed stability)

ive got gaz coilovers and compression struts (no anti roll bar) handles really well , bit harsh compared to arb with poly bushes so don't think I would recommend for everyday use , also mines is 4x4 if it makes a difference
