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

[let_nova]

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 lol

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.

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!

[craig green]

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

[dan16v]

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?

[let_nova]

i could do with a good picture of them if possible. the are on a road car. would love to have a go at making them. . . . . . dont know were to start.!"!!!!!!lol

[R1CH]

I'd start by having a read thru the link (to MIG web) i gave you !!

[let_nova]
