The 3-door was homologated for racing so has superior front suspension geometry achieved with an extended knuckle on the bottom of the hub and unique to the 3-door TCAs. This means the front has vastly improved bump steer, as the TCA is angled better and it's movement up and down doesn't give randomnly adjustable geometry like on the Sapphire. The only problem is that these are like rocking horse shit . You only need the hubs though, as you can still get adjustable TCAs to suit the 3-doors castle-ated (sp) nut hub fitment.

If you only do track work at the Ring, then I would stick with the Konis, so that is one area you can scrub off your shopping list. However, I would recommend Ahmed's springs to suit the Konis, the rear beam and setting up the geometry using laser alignment equipment.

The Zoo rear beam is £650 + delivery (exchange) for the strapped "rally" version, plus an additional £150 if you want the Motorsport rose joints.
