Default 6 degree rear beam for 2wd saff

Need a 6 degree beam soon for my saff but don't know much about them! Which ones the best? What sort of prices? I read some where that u can just have your standard beam converted? Thanks in advance!

I'm sure MK Motorsport does these ( modifies your beam and arms )

Sorry but I think you are wrong mate, you never got yours set up properly iirc, you have to get it done on a proper four wheel laser bed, or it will never be right. My stage two adrenaline beam is perfect.

Any of the beams mentioned will do the job well, too many Internet stories floating about, you would never buy anything if you listened to them all

Will, sorry mate but it was the man who made it that set it up.

If he can't get it right, no one can IMO

I'm not alone then. I'm going from what I have experienced. Too many times I have wrote down what the faults where.

It was removed and an SCS one fitted and the difference was night & day.

Chris, one thing I always remember, swapping from 2nd to 3rd lane on the M6 at 70ish. Quite quickly, it felt like the car was going to spin and land in the central reservation.

I promptly took it home and parked it up and didn't use it for nearly a year

Ok, so they might be shit made, but set up badly is nothing to do with the beam- its up to the end user to do that to suit what they want from it.

Ah, so they must not have had a decent jig set up then.
Or they should have been able to bang them out all the same.

That's a bit contradicting mate ^^^.... If it's badly set up either by the supplier or Jesus then it's a lot to do with badly set up wouldn't you think.

Sorry, what i ment was that the set up is nothing to do with the beam manufacturer. ie it wont come back from -said beam supplier- ready to fit and drive.

Glad I didn't buy one a few months back now that I was offered!
What happened to adrenaline? Did they shut down or still about? May be worth contacting them.
