They make suspension (coilovers) but also a complete tie bar setup etc. All adjustable IRRC.

Also its absolutely shocking prices.

Nice piece of kit. I was going to use this setup but have gone with the walden wide track kit. (basically the same but widens the track.....duhlol )

Yeah.

They made coilovers for the Nova that utilised plain Bilstein or de-Carbon inserts. The tie bars were uniballed into the castor brackets & onto the Pilbeam TCA's too. Basically full on bombproof adjustable stuff. They also did a cage with all the ties into the turrets etc.

I think they did bits for most well developed rally cars. I know they did stuff for the works mk2 Astras & RWD Escorts amongst loads of other things.

Nice.

And its beefy & bombproof. Built to take landings & rough surfaces.
