ARB Differences?
Quick question peeps. Are the 360 ARB's thicker than the 340's?

All models have 19mm I think? I've got some custom made in mine because it's 23mm.

drop links are different between 360 and 340, though the holes exist on a 360 to use a 340 arb as the actual bars are the same. 360 has a crazy double balljoint thingy that attaches to the strut whereas 340 attaches to the actual suspension arm using a link like the ones dai sells.

You basically couldn't make poly versions of the late-model 360 endlinks (as Ronnie quite rightly says, earlier 360s had 340-style ones).
Technically speaking, the late 360 type is superior....but it's what you can get, I suppose!

With some modifications you could actually make poly versions, if you'd convert the setup similiar to one in Group-A 240

That would require some fabrication though.
