Dom,

You're talking bollox

Charlie does a Ł10 shim to alter the toe angle.

ZOO do a complete rose-jointed rear beam.

There's also about a Ł900 price difference

Thanks for that.
So if you get the rose jointed version does it need to be set up by Zoo aswell,or are they preset.Is it definately worth buying one though?

I would just buy one on a drive in/drive out basis.

They will set the car up for you, get all the angles spot on, and send you out in a car that drives/handles SOOOOO much better.

Their attention to detail is exceptional, and they're all cossie nuts at heart.

I would say it's a very worthwhile purchase, especially if you enjoy track days.
