Will there be another round of these? If not I'm on the list too.

Any chance of further group discount with this much interest? If these went down nearer to £60 id buy them now.

Savings could be made with group postage to people who are local to each other?

[BIGS]

Well i can post my payment now if it helps atall

[The Simps]

Don't order them until all money is in mate. Simple. Or don't until until you've at least got 11.

2 names added from MIG. Will these only fit Nova/Corsa/Tigras? Lad wants some for his Vectra.

Why do you need them? My steering arms have no plays in them whatsoever. The ride height my car sits at now means the arms are level anyhow. There is nothing to be gained by a lower COG unless your modifying the suspension mounting points (like the rear off my car). My front setup uses standard height turrets so the only way I could get the car to sit really low (and have the need for these) would be by using a very short springs and have hardly any damper travel (not good). On my rear with 9" springs my coilover platform is an inch from the top, this means I have full travel on the damper.
Can someone explain why there needed apart from the above scenario? Before someone states 'race cars like BTCC cars use them', they are also on modified mounting points, that damper and springs are still full size just mounted higher up.

No one has stated anything about "needing them", and nothing has been mentioned in regards to whether you're current arms have play in them...

Further more, whose mentioned lowering the COG on this for sale/ group buy thread? I think you've posted a wrong reply, as that should be in my WIP I think?

As for your arms being level Rob, they come level from factory iirc, so you must be running a standard Nova ride height? because if your has been lowered at all, then your rack will be lower than standard, accompanied by you adding bigger wheels from factory (15s instead of 13s) then your hub mounting point (read: TRE) will be higher.

So if your car / rack has moved down/ lowered, and your hubs have moved up (bigger wheels) - then well done for maintaining the level steering arms Unless I'm mistaken?

Anyhow, this isn't only for track cars only, its for anyone. If you experience any kind of bumpsteer, due to your arms not being at the correct angle, this will eliminate this.

As stated in my original post

The benefit of these, are that if you run your car low, doesn't matter how low, and experience slight or dramtic bumpsteer from your steering arms not being horizontal
