Adjustable rear trailing arms
What are peoples thoughts on making the cossie rear arms adjustable using rose joints etc? There is a company near me that modifies the trailing ams, and makes them fully adjustable. Obviously they bont modify the beam to make it a 6 degree one, just wondering if this is worth doing for about £300? can you get enough adjustment to get rid of the toe and camber issues or is it the beam that causes the problems in the first place?

why don't you elongate the holes on the inner mounts and weld washers on to hold in place? save you a bit of money.
also I think its the wishbone location on the beam and the length of the inner arm that causes the problem.
might be wrong though.

my escort will be running around 420+bhp, Can you use a 7.5" 2wd diff on the back? , as I was thinking about gettting the beam first , made to take a 7.5" diff,but keeping the 7" diff and using spacers until it pops, then throwing a decent diff in ... is this possible?
I also need a beam for a 4x4 saff cossie that has been converted to 2wd, and I want a 10.5" jag diff in it
didn't realise your road beams were so cheap , how much is a strapped one?
Can't remember if you have to run coilovers as well?
