I managed to get a Owen Burton/ESM antiroll bar for a lot less than the ESM asking price by asking on this site if anyone had a spare/NOS item.
I have had a antiroll bar fitted to my Minor for many years and would not be without one.
The original bar was a V W Derrington item of 11/16" OD but have recently fitted a Owen Burton/ESM 19mm OD anti roll bar with modified mountings and antiroll bar/suspension links as part of a suspension upgrade. Since the photo posted below I have again revised the antiroll bar/suspension links as modified tele damper mounts from a Marlin Marina based sports car which puts the damper over the centre of the lower thick/thin suspension arms became available and are in the process of being fitted.

So an ESM antiroll bar kit in standard guise/fitment is well worth it?

Correct.
Here is the V W Derrington antiroll bar working very hard to keep the car level. One of the first modifications I did to the car. This was way before the Owen Burton ESM antiroll bar was produced/made available.
Can someone/moderator please rotate the picture for me as it keeps posting as is. Thank you
