I am converting my e30 rear drums to discs and wonder how difficult it would be to fit a rear anti roll bar while everthings apart?
I would be grateful if you could offer help on this as well as a good place to get the parts needed from.
Cheers

Is there anything you think is useful to know?
Is it a bolt on sort of job, or will it need modification work? What exactly will I need?
Cheers

Apparently it's worth welding little tags onto the ARB mounts on the rear arms, tbh they don't look the strongest of things. Not an absolute requirement, but if you have the whole lot lying on the floor and a welder handy it might be worth considering. Other than that, I think its a bolt on job.
You will need:
ARB itself, the mounts to attach it to the bodyshell and new bushes, Did the arms you have come with the ARB link mounts on them? You will also need the short link rods too.

mine was prety simple when i fitted my hartage ARB kit, didn't need to strengthen the brackets on the rear, had to change the front sub frame and strengthen that though

ditto, it's not difficult and should bolt straight on, it did on my 316i. it's worth doing, i put my suspension kit on first and drove it a while before putting the rear arb on and it makes a good difference.
