Thinking of ordering an arb kit for my M52 touring.
Atm it is full poly bushed and running a 60/40 H&R cupkit.
I am going to remove the poly rear beam bushes and fit oem ones.
What kit would suit me set up best.Car is a road car btw.

I have H&R anti roll bars on mine. Before fitting I did not really expect them to make much difference, But they did!! I now run a sensible road ride height/stiffness with very little body roll

I'd assume the bars and springs from the same manufacturer would make the best match. What wheels/tyres are you running?
+1 for rollbars - really good improvement

All the above made decent products. I wouldn't worry about which brand, It's the diameter of the bar that's more important as is, in my opinion adjustability.
I run the Eibach bars FWIW. Very happy win 'em.

You really should add an option for 'do not know',then we could all learn from this!

Agreed, I'm interested in purchasing a kit in the future some reviews on here would be a bonus

I'm running borbet c 205/45/16 atm with 20mm spacers on the front to give the space needed for the 4 pots i'm about to fit.

Are the cabby ones not the same diameter as the touring roll bars?

well H&R win as they have the most adjustment, as the rear bar is 2 way where as the eibachs are fixed. The fronts are the same

Jake i've got the eibachs on mine and they were on when the suspension you bought off us was on the car, it all performed well but I just stuck them in the centre adjustment hole and haven't had a play about yet.
