baily ones need to set up properly as most people set them up cold, and complain when it rips the studs out the head lol, the rs500 ones are fitted on 2 of my mates cars and have never missed a beat so they both good if used correctly

Yes......together. The 4x4 head has no bracket to bolt the damper to....which is where the Spec-R item comes in....

Did that come from a Haynes manual??
Seriously tho,how tight should the rosejoints be to move? Is there some specifics to setting it correctly?
