Best Rear ARB for a 172

[Sonic Boom]

I've searched quite a few old threads but with no definitive answer.
What's peoples opinions for the best Rear ARB?
Whiteline, K-Tec, PMS any others?

Whiteline is perfectly adequate.

Yup. Just fitted one and it seems fine.

No one has any Whiteline ARB's in stock, any ideas guys?

PMS looks like a good bit of kit. I have their ream beam strengthening kit and to be honest I don't find that it needs any more rear roll stiffness with that fitted.

The Whiteline one mounts on the bottom of the rear shocks which I like where as the PMS one goes the otherway and mounts to the rear beam mounts.
Any thoughts why the different mounting and if it makes any difference?

Just bought a pms one to go on, have to say it looks a lot more well made/robust than the white line....but not saying it works any better! Is mounted with the drop links the opposite way round, not sure why that would be better or worse. What do you like about the way the whiteline is mounted?

I might be completely wrong but I would have thought mounting them on the end of the shocks would be better way to reduce (twist) roll as they are the furthest point on the beam, where as where the beam mounts to the car there would be very little movement.
Like I said not being a geo guru I have no idea if what I'm saying makes sense thou lol

Ideally I'd like the Whiteline positioning but with PMS Metal Spherical Joint drop links

I can see your thinking certainly, the guy at pms has a hill climb clio that looks pretty serious so is hope he had reasons for doing it how they have....I didn't think to quiz him on it though lol. The rose joints and the bar itself just looked so much more well made that was why I went for it, does make you wonder why they designed it differently as its easier to mount the whiteline one.

Any knowledgeable suspension people fancy parting with some wisdom?
