If you could see a photo of it fitted you would realise how simple it is. The courtney thing seems to look over engineered for the job.

no, because by the time you space them out 30mm, the threads are not long enough.

35mm spacers like mtech also sales.. easy to make yourself
mounted on nova (corsa's the same way)
mostly used are wirethread taps, however headbolts will also work

I believe he is talking about lowering the tie bars not the ARB

You get more castor on the front suspension.. Thats the forward angle on the front suspension. Improves handling.

You are actually altering the kickup/anti dive on the car, not the caster.

arb may well be going pending a bit of playing about dont think it really does much on mine as I have coilovers with high poundage springs. would imagine it would reduce the squat efect meaning better launch
Juste need to either buy some (get ripped of by courteny) or make something up pics of the home made method would really help!!
