They look nice.
Does the swaybar bracket seem a bit weak, especially if running an aftermarket swaybar?

They look like it. I was looking into a set of them about a year or two ago.

So how do you know where to align the bush to?

i.e the hole position?

Towards the front of car, so the arm is pushed back as far as possible. The theory is to extend your wheel base.

Great for cruising, pain in the ass on speed bumps & rocky roads. Still maintain softer springs would be more suitable.

They come with the same spring rates.

Maybe it's the cluster.

Finally got round to the rear arms & lancer droplinks. Also dropped the coilovers about 10mm more.
