There is a lot of differences between the two, Hence the 2 different prices

Vivien62's will have offset spacers in the smaller sized r/j and use a stock adjuster to set the camber.

The MEF ones have equal side spacers and a much uprated beefier r/joint and use that to set the camber at a much less stressed angle.

Both do essentially the same job, but differently

Of course the prices are different as the pro r/j costs more so shopping around is fine.... especially if you know what you need, and then know what your looking at when you get it

Obviously Escort ones aren't going to fit a Sierra because they are such different cars.

Click the MEF siggy above to go to their homepage, i'm sure they do something suitable for your car

MEF all the way Martin service is spot on

The compbrake products are shocking i had a set of there front brakes and they were Sh1t

There customer service is even worst and the brakes went in the bin.

Im going for the full adj setup from MEF i have the fronts just need to save up for the rear.
