The ARB setup on the 500 was applauded as a step in the 'right direction' for the 500 and was promoted on the 2010 models when the scrappage was being launched here. It's news to me that it isn't a proper one.
If you look at the rear suspension setup of the 500 'too much' you could be hankering for a multilink like the one in the Focus. I did post a youtube before of the Type R suspension comparison of an old verus new model and the ARB on the newer model was dismal in comparison. Granted a multilink would cost more money and would intrude on the valuable boot space.

i beleive the eibach kit is the best on the market. i did bought the TA technix coilovers instead because of recommendation of its robustness.

Ive got a question

my settings are 17 rims, lowered 55mm front and 45 rear.

what kind of extra abuse to the car will this give me =)? busings? the front end of the chassi =)?

probably alot id say.ive got the pro kit and 16" rims and i find it just right...
