I'll soon find out Rob...apparently so though- full description as follows:

Anti Roll Bar Kit MGTF H170
Developed for the MGTF 85th anniversary edition we are pleased to offer an uprated anti-roll bar kit designed by former MG Rover suspension engineers to increase roll stiffness by 40% improving steering precision and predictability.

Kits comprise front (25mm) and rear (22mm) uprated ARBs manufactured by Eibach, 4 x ball jointed ARB links, front lower arm stiffening brackets, fittings and bushes.

Combine with a Bilstein comfort handling pack and polyurethane bushes for the ultimate MGTF suspension set-up.

Hi

Just ordered my VHS Bilstein comfort kit for the Tf they said they also have an uprated roll kit containing roll bars links & bushes for 260-00 + vat think that will have to wait, but may be worth looking at at ?

Who was that Gerry ?, if it's the same kit it's cheaper than the MGOC.

I'm ordering mine next week but I'll take it at £260 instead of £320 any day :D

That is £260 + Vat and £320 Inc Vat so save £8.

True, but that way I don't have to give anything to the MGOC :thumbsu:

I've just been to the VHS web-site and it shows the arb kit available soon :?

I've also looked at the big rear brake kit, it says £340 + vat for the rear 266mm discs and brackets and fittings but the replacement discs are only £80 + vat per pair, that makes the brackets very expensive :o

I've e mailed them to ask about this :

MGF and TF Big Rear Brake Kit
Need a better rear brake for your MGF or MGTF?
We thought so too!
Larger diameter disc (266mm)
Adaptor brackets to use your existing rear calipers plus new fixings
Increased thermal capacity
Greater brake torque
Will fit inside 15” wheels
Improved style
All the benefits of your standard calipers but with improved performance.
Complete kit £340 + VAT.

Replacement 266mm discs also available £80 + VAT (per pair)
Bilstein shocks, Piper 4-2-1 manifold, Daytona, Vader cold-air induction, custom Z and F Stage 2 re-map, Electric boot release, braided hoses, Blue Magnecor leads, Technozen relays, Stage 1 head, BMW Angel Eyes headlights, "MG" puddle lights.
