i had the wheels off the car yesterday, was doing a bit of cleaning and and stuff, and was quite alarmed to find the inside edge of both front tyres was quite worn.

the car is on 16" with 205, 40 tyres, koni top adj.

i would like to be able to adjust the camber, possibly the toe, not sure if i can do the castor, as i haven't seen any concentic top mounts for an rst, and not only that i don't really want to have to get coil overs

i was wondering if anyone knows if you can still get adj tcas, preferably rose jointed.

and if theres a relocation kit for the roll bar, with perhaps blades and drop links?

has anyone fitted compression struts to thier rsts?

 

adjustable tca's are availible from burton power, as far as i'm aware, and so are top mounts, if not from rally design.

 

Compbrake do them as well

 

still waiting fot the burton catalouge

will check on those top mounts, cheers lads

 

should of put "eccentric", not concentric, oops, me failing memory,
all the rd stuff is for mk2's

 

i had some rose jointed tca's from burtons and backed them

they was horrid

got a pair from martin at mef in the end (he no longer does any rst stuff tho)

still thinking about the bladed arb myself

 

are you still using the tcas?

RD do a bladed arb for the sierra, but, iirc they were reputed not to be very good. but for a road car i think they may be fine, though i think there would have to be some modification involved?

i did have baldes frt and bck on my old sierra, but it wasn't rd.
they were awesome... on soft, when you jacked the car up, they wheels would droop about 6"
on stiff it was an 1", incredible bit of kit

 

just found this, thanks to haz87 for orginal post!

still looking for an arb

 

yeah using the mef ones now

i have the compression struts from mef also

think its the eccentric top mounts that i have (concentric are the big ones with a million holes in yeah?)

couldnt tell ya how it all works tho, pushes in and out of the garage real nice

 

i know a fella who has put the rd bladed arb on the rear of his s1
his not too impressed with the kit itself but it works for him

really cant remember what he is doing on the front

think mine will be custom made jobbie i think

 

you've got mk3/4 comp struts?

yes the ecccntric ones have the locating hole, off centre....with the billions of holes, lol, for angling the struts castor!

 

thats made me think about the back as well now, bugger!

yeah, not sure about the front arb, the seirra one is designed to go behind the engine, with struts in front, obviously back to front with the esc, and i don't think the blades will be long enough????

 

if yours is just for road why not just use the rs16i arb and crossmember?

thats gotta be better than the standard s2 one

 

not so familar with rs1600i stuff?
wouldn't it be quite a bit of work to fit it?

i was more intrested in seeing if there was a arb kit about,
would be great for track days when/if we do any

the whole thread started off as an idea to see how i could adjust the camber of the front wheels, and now it seems i'm spending vast slabs of gold to save tyre wear lol
