Default Adjustable TCA's Cosworth

I've been looking to purchase Powerflex bushes for my std TCA's and there coming in at £90-£100 for inners and outers.

I'm wondering if it's worth putting the £100 towards a decent set of adjustable arms instead.

Does anyone have any links to a pair of quality ones?

I'm guessing they are around £300

thanks in advance

ive compbrake as well no problem but you still have to change the bush where arb meets track arm.so theres that cost to account for on top of new arms.if you go compbrake make sure you get the one with the bigger bal joint

I wondered this as well, anyone?? But do the burton ones not come with powerflex bush?

Also I can't find any other option apart from compbrake.

They seem well worth while buying now

Thanks for your reply's obviously if they can cope with track use they'll cope with road use

Burtons come with the bush kit and are not rose jointed.
