yes pics below hope they help somewhat lol

whole setup has been made up to be as adjustable as possible even inc actual arb end float movement so to say ,has threaded part on the end to adjust to suit bottom arm position

quite happy with the setup to be honest
pics below cheers

also worth noting whole comp strut setup bolts to original arb mount holes ,with the arb sitting on top piggyback style held in by original brackets.. but will also be welded in to help eliminate any flexing

overview as in car

couple of drop links and arb attaching point
can also see arb adjustment on the very end if you look closely

the compression struts can be bought from lots of cosworth specialists
and the rest is just creative ingenuity and trial and error
not sure if anywhere sells kits like this complete or not ??? but have seen a few diff methods of acheiving the same results as this
try googling it im sure you will find something
the comp struts can be bought from the likes of compbrake
hope this helps
