I didn't lie, we now have full competition and also a "fast road" spec

The old competition spec (fully in situ adjustable) is 95% wasted on a mainly road orientated or limited trackday car.

Plus we were finding after receiving them people had to then go out and buy some big sized spanners just to set them up

These now come ready assembled in the standard preset length so you can simply fit them at home and safely drive round on them for weeks before finding your own fitting/set-up garage to make that simple final adjustment

They have been on the test car since late last year

Plus they are now cheaper Not often that happens
