A group buy on rear link kits would be spot on

Default Rear links

Well I'd be up for it but they are rather specialised and with the need for rear coil-overs makes it quite an expensive job so I can't see it being possible to get enough interest. (unless you've already got the rear coil-overs of course!)

The replacement rear trailing arms can be fitted on their own, certainly a very worthwhile improvement over the standard unit

Personally for me i'd be interested in a group buy on the S1 adjustable Tie arms and also the rears.

Them coil overs look the nuts but i con't justify them, 1 pair is nearly double what my car cost

OK, well if you wanted to do a group buy on any of the tension struts & arms, why don't you start a new thread to guage the interest, I would be perpared to come to some arrangement based on the total amount rather than of each individual product, as long as there was sufficient interest.

Martin/Tony,

Looking forward to receiving mine

When fitting these is it just a case of fitting them up and then getting down the local wheel alignment place to check ad then adjust the camber?

Could you advise what camber angle we should be aiming for in the following circumstances:

Standard Ford RS Turbo Settings?
Fast Road?
Track-Day?

Thanks

the rear settings are as follows;

-1°25mins rear camber

+0°12mins toe

Front

-1°20mins camber

+2°40mins caster

+0°08 Toe

Got these off an old post and think there for standard settings

Default joining group buy

Kirky,

Yes, you can join in, please e-mail me: martin@mefmotorsport.com, I'll send you the details regarding payment.

Received a cheque today from MJC who has also joined in, thanks Mike.

Still awaiting for cheques promised by others but no sign yet!

Here is the update on payments etc:


1~Cawood confirmed-payment by transfer RECEIVED & DELIVERED
2~Red16 paid by Paypal RECEIVED & DELIVERED
3~safechav
4~mathewwebber
5~danny boy
6~drjones confirmed-sending cheque but not arrived yet
7~Hartyboy
8~rst dave paying by Paypal RECEIVED & DELIVERED
9~John Laverick electronic transfer RECEIVED & DELIVERED
10~little_hoss confirmed-sending cheque (DRjones sending)
11~Benn 304R
12~andyt
13~akito-man sending cheque, RECEIVED
14~steve90spec confirmed, RECEIVED & DELIVERED
15~Moonie has confimed using paypal, RECEIVED & DELIVERED
16~TeamFatboy Paypal, RECEIVED
17~MJC RECEIVED

By the way, I would recommend about 1 degree 30 minutes negative camber for the front and standard Castor setting (more castor will make the steering even heavier!)

Would any opting out please advise, it's not a problem so dont be shy!

Cheers,

Martin
