Looks sweet mate

Think I'd rather see locknuts on those rose joints like...

So are they adjustable, and is a setup / alignment session included in the price?

No, I meant a nut to lock that one down - looks to be a fairly coarse thread, no loctite, and thats one nut I wouldn't want working loose

Im not being picky at all, wasnt saying why doesnt it have them, just if it were mine, thats what I would do

I think he means an additional nut that bolts down on top of the one already there.

I bought it through Hauser racing as it was for a customer who pulled out. When it comes to fit it, I'll take it up to brom to sort out so he'll make sure its all tickety boo, then it will all be corner weighted etc

Neil, I already have the adjustable zoo TCA's and roll centre adjusters. To say they improve turn-in is an understatement. I've had to get the rear beam to help bring the back round as the rear handles like a jelly now the front is sorted.

It's rather different trailing arms them beam am I right? The beam itself looks pretty stock. I wander if those uniball joints will be very loud.

Neil,

You will be buying the front set up, especially after I've run circles round you at Croft.

Nice choice Paul - got mine on the way soon enough
