    Youll have to make your own with some rose joints unless youve got a spare ?1k to fork out for some works type Pilbeam jobbies

    There a pic of mine on here somewhere (I'll find it)

    Basically the ends been cut off and replaced with a rose joint instead of a rubber bush. Winding the thread in and out adjusts the camber and the castor to some degree. I payed ?142 off ebay about 18 months ago, all done and strengthen. Craig Green really rates them, I haven't had chance to test them yet as they arrived the week I took the nova off the road

    You could knock some adjustable bottom arms pretty easily tbh, chop the end off plate it up add a big nut for the rose joint to screw into then have a couple of spacers made up to keep the rose joint centred on the mounting bolt.
    Theres a guy mig (not sure if hes on here, Lee303) thats been making some adjustable bottom arms, tie bars and tie bar brackets, if your handy with a welder then no reason why you couldn't knock some up.
    Can get good priced Rose Joints off these guys ... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Mc-Gill-Mot...Q3amesstQQtZkm
    Link to his build thread on MIG, will probly get round to sorting some for myself at some point. (TCA stuff starts on page 17)

    Also these guys have 2nd hand stuff forsale now and again ... http://www.eurorallye.co.uk/

    are you wanting these for a track car? if not i cant see the point of them on a road car, they will have no give in them what so ever! id just go for a poly race bush kit from rally design's!

    I have them on a road car, you dont feel any more jarring etc. Just beautifully positive steering feedback.

    the same as you get with the poly race kit then! must be more chance of a rose joint letting go/ wearing out aswell possibly with very bad results, even more so when using cheap joints etc from e bay! do people check shock/load ratings/ capacities before putting the joint into its given service?
