I've just checked this on my car and can't see it as problem as some have exaggerated it to be.I haven't got the box in the car at the moment but last time it was in there I know it was almost flush with the outer tip of the end of the anti roll bar.
I get 1.75 turns on full left lock and about 1.3-1.4 turns on full right lock until my 16 inch rimms are on the same plain as the ARB,it may go even further but until i refit the engine and box next week i can't confirm this.
I then took my Citroen Relay van for a spin and that is 6.5 turns lock to lock,being a commercial vehicle of course.I drove it round and round a very small roundabout and it didnt even need half a turn
I really can't see this being a issue unless you doing very tight manuvers at low speeds and even then how often do you hit full lock?

it would be a straight forward swap on the bx too,if it wasn't for the fact that they is know where to fasten the accumulator too. ....anyway looking forward to seeing how the old lass smokes in a few weeks.
have you smoked in that ZX yet?
