If Pedders make this bar and for a decent price what is the point of going any further?

Their prices are very good though, you're wasting your time trying to find any better.

I believe that is all you may need. An ARB lifts the inside wheel when there are a down force on the outside wheel. Now the Q4 have a limited slip diff at the rear, or so I am told. (I have not tested the Torsen diff, in the Q4 at the rear, for limited slip. The Torsen, Q2s that the guys are fitting to the GTA/GTVs are not)
If it is a LS diff the handling will be ok when the inside rear wheel lift in a corner. The front diff is not LS so all torque to the front axle will go to waste, when the inside front wheel lifts.
So in my humble opinion I will increase spring rates all round, but fit a stiffer ARB only at the back of the car, increasing the chances of lifting the rear wheel. Stiffer sport shocks will achieve much the same effect, without the down side, because shocks are 3 times stiffer at extending(rebound) than compression.

Hello!
No news about CAD file for caliper adapters?
Hi @colibry
I can't find the "cad" file, did you ever get time to make it?

@wrinx I know this is another thread resurection, but for a number of reasons I'm looking at getting some of these caliper brackets made.
First off, I think that hole size is 10.5mm because the hole should be threaded for an m12x1.25 bolt, and the hole size for tapping a thread this size is 10.8mm
In regards to the other drawings linked to immediately after yours, I think that these are also incorrect. The holes used for mounting to the upright appear to be in the wrong position.
I'm putting together a 3d model for these brackets, and will post it up once I've finished.
