I could not get the geometry right as my car is narrower than a cossie so the adjustable tcas gave me more range. I had normal adjustable tca before but the pin angle was too extreme and it also made the driveshafts knock and vibrate.

My drive shafts were sticking up in the air, now they are pretty straight.

The biggest benefit for me was due to the bladed arb moving to the front as the standard one severely restricted the exhaust route, it had to go very low and still have a big hump cut out which also restricted things and made it touch the gearbox, bearing in mind this was done by nortec it was the best going.

By moving to bladed I am now free to adapt the exhaust to give perfect fitment but I needed to add compression struts to control the hub and caster which was non adjustable before.

The hubs are lighter which is nice.

As to the adjustment of the arb, that is so easy that I can play with the amount of pre-load on there and adjust the roll. Once I am happy with the basic setup I will have a chassis guru consultant advise me and set up the car, the beauty of this set up is that you can adjust everything and it is so fast to do and put the wheel where you want it.

The down side is that you remove all rubber from the setup, whilst this gives consistent geo you do get some odd noise on rough roads and a few clonks when you first set off as the spherical free up.
