After seeing the MEF adjustable TCA's I have to say that is where my cash would go

Not knocking anybody elses kit but the MEF stuff is simply superb

Don't they (MEF) do a rear link kit thats meant to be spot on for the ERST too?

Ok - the official answer to the above is the MEF ones come with proven race spec full size 5/8" x 5/8" rose joints, and also the correct (offset) side spacers to re-set the castor angle as per factory settings.

Compbrake ones come with smaller 1/2" x 5/8" inferior rose joints and the side spacers supplied will throw out the front geometery slightly.

You get what you pay for unfortunatly

Dan - yes we do (click the sig)

Hope that helps
