Default About ZOOMotorsports adjustable rear beam kits

Hi!

I'm thinking of getting one of these kits for my Cossie

£800
ZOO Rose jointed RACE (Tubular) adjustable bear beam - 7" & 7.5"diffs
£950
The car is mainly driven on road, it is used as a daily driver in the summer. Sometimes I take the car out on the track.
Which kit should I go for? I'm thinking about ROAD kit, naturally.. How do the kits differ from each other?
What does strapped mean? Anyone got pictures?

Thanks!

-Timo

i would go for the road kit if i was planning on keeping my car much longer. it would save that much money on tyres in just a few years.

strapped would mean that additional metal parts have been welded in to make it stronger for rally use.

think that these might be the zoo beam, but not sure. taken from mike rainbirds site, www.randbmotorsport.co.uk image gallery

Thanks m8!

I have to get everything else for my project first (Quaife ATB, big brakes, new gearbox etc.) and then if I still have enough money left, I'll get this kit..

if your buying one just to save tyre wear cos its lowered, you can do the same job with a few washers and just shim it out till the wheels are at the right angle.

As per the shims on MikeR's website, will only cure 50% of the wear problem.

ahh, didnt know you could buy em as a kit, and i havent managed to wear any tyres out in "normal use" so far (mullered a few on drift days ) road wear rate appears to be better than 50% of normal though on the XR4 and xr4x4, dunno about a bigger powered cossie i'll admit.
