is there an after market antiroll bar that will fit along the length of the comp struts like how vauxhall corsa's and nova's are from factory, that would remove the need for front bladed type with drop links if you get what i mean?

Thats not a bad Idea .... A clamp style system like the RS 1600i's ..

Can this bit of kit be used with a standard antiroll bar ? A friend's Escort Cosworth need this kit and he has KW coilovers, does he need to remove his antiroll bar or not ?

The brackets in the kit bolt into the holes where the original ARB is mounted, so that set-up needs to be removed if he wishes to convert to a compression strut set up.

Not in a kit as such, but a guy in Ireland modified his that way by welding on a few extra bits.

He then sent us a message late last year saying he now actually prefers to run it with it disconnected so to him it was a pointless exercise

Ok, I have a plan on how to do it, just wanted to check if you had anything on the shelf. I am running a quite soft suspension, so cant depend only on the springs to counter te bodyroll.

Ok no problems

Im sure with a modified car / engine you would be looking at changing from the soft standard set up in the future though ??

would Koni's and Ahmed springs be sufficient to counter act the body roll, or would they be bettrt suited to cars running coilovers?

Are you ever going to track it ?
Not sure how much uprated the springs are TBH, I'd say no.
