Yes me and fad have discussed this in detail... there is a guide which shows you how you can extend the mounting bracket so it fits correctly but it's a lot of work.

We've both just disconnected ours entirely now, i was fed up of my car going sideways coming into roundabouts

Some info on disconnecting here. Also i think if you u2u fad/lee mitchell they've discussed it a bit on fads car and in the end i'm sure lee just said disconnect it - or thats what fad told me i think... i'm just hunting for the thread now

UPDATE!

Spring is still there but this weekend I've lobbed on the Whiteline rear ARB and oh my it feels like its made a difference.

Me and passenger going along roundabouts and my favorite bit of dual carriage way (testing ground) and I didnt shit myself once. The dynamics of the car have changed but I still have more to learn.

I had the problem when the car twitched while going round a very slight bend at speed (dual carriageway situation), that problem has disapeared so far.

The car feels tigher round corners at medium speed (30 or so). I'd take my info with a pinch of salt because it could be me being abit more ballz out because I have that bar fitted
