I thought the eibach kit was the one to go to and consider the best I gave up removing the sub frame took all the bolts off and rear gearbox mount but still couldn't get it off I'll try again at weekend as last weekend was busy doing wishbones droplinks track rods and fitting vibra fast road mounts

With the rear subframe bolts removed along with the rear gearbox mount and steering rack bolts you can loosen the front subframe bolts and let the frame swing forward enough to wiggle the ARB past everything, it's one of those pita jobs so change the bushes at the same time.
