I presume the rose joints are the ones pictured below? That's a good point - if those bushes are going to get rarer over time, that's quite a plus point for your type of beam that doesn't need them?

Any alternative on the Ahmed one...or best to get some spare bushes when you buy one to future-proof yourself?

Thats the rose joints, thats our beam, only adjustable for camber, on the Adrenaline beam, the outer is also rose jointed for toe adjustment (if you get the stg2 beam)
I know people have already had a nightmare finding replacment standard bushes there, as poly ones don't work well there
I believe the Ahmed one is the same as above, but is slotted for toe adjustment, thus leaving the other bushes in place...
I am sure Danny can quote you prices

Adrenaline stg 1 uses standard outer bushes and the holes can be slotted if required by the customer, the toe and camber fully rose jointed is the stg2.

Danny, this might be a tiny bit off topic but i am looking at getting a beam and adjustable tcas at the same time, whats your view on compression struts if the car is going to be used purely on the road, as i have heard mixed reviews about losing the arb on a road car??

No you are right mate, the race one is over the top for a road car IMHO
Id go for the cheaper adrenalin one, but slotted as danny mentioned.
I just cant decide yet wether my car is a trackday car or a road car in the future, been totally a road car so far, but im tempted to strip it out and track it.

I know of a couple of race cars that are running AB beams with no problems. Definately received more of a hard time than your typical track car! That'd be my choice.

mechanic28- you're best to change one thing at a time or you don't really know where the improvement lies. Just changing the beam is often more than enough.

the biggest problem with the standard lsd is that it is 15 years + old worn out due to age and abuse
servicing the unit and uprating it to group n ratings improves the handling no end
however you then need to uprate the sun and planet gears
if your intended use is track days etc fit an oil cooler too

Just so you dont think you were being ignored, I did reply, but the moderators deleted my reply.
Last time I enquired they were
Stage 1 750 quid including VAT
Stage 2 998 quid including VAT
Race 1998 quid including VAT
Outright is 150 quid extra, as those prices are based on exchange.
And all of their beams come blasted and powder coated included in the price.
I dont know if these prices are current though

Chip - I've added the post that was deleted back onto this thread so the single thread that you've posted with the info isn't needed anymore.
Ps, it wasn't me that moved the original post (before you start with all the short ass jokes) rofl

....AND, then that you could really do with uprating the sun and plant gears after that?
Who can actually do this type of work or is it an extra that Bara offer? It is hard to find info on this type of thing - other than an old FF article on CTS, I have not seen much info on uprating the std diff.
Is an uprated VC type less snatchy than a Quaife? Or is there soem other reason other than cost to stay with the original Ford idea?

It's a good job brim isn't making beams anymore!
Chip, if you want a beam and don't mind waiting a few months for me todesign it in SW, build the jig and get the parts laser cut and turned up I'd be happy to do you one at cost?

most spot on post yet its the diff that causes most the back end crap then correct bushed beam and correct rear spring rates help to

What diff have you got Jay? You're saying the diff caused most of your dodgy handling at the rear? I presume you changed from a std tired Ford VC Lsd to a ???

Does that infer that the BARA uprated one is serviced and uprated to Gp N rating?
