The thing people forget about altering a beam and arms is the time. even with proper jig sets - it still takes a good few hours to complete. & this is where some of the cost differences come in.

As said before, going to an adjustable beam (of any) wont make your car handle worse - unless you make a pigs ear of setting it up.
Thankyou
I think it helps makes it easier to adjust
I meant mig or tig as in tig is slower to do as in time/cost
I use 7/8ths joints witch are very big ie stronger
You have to use jigs to keep everthing square and true
I usally takes a day to do beamg and another day to do a pair of arms
