Funny that Ahmed doesnt agree with you then..... (granted towardsthe end he fucked up, but prior he commented that they were as good as his).

So in summary, the two choices are the Ahmed ones or the Adrenaline ones.

The Adrenaline ones use rose joints which are likely to be easier to get hold of replacements whereas the Ahmed ones uses bushes which are ( currently ) much harder to get hold of....although there may be replacements being made shortly.

And the Adrenaline one with adjustable toe and camber is slightly more than the Ahmed one with the same adjustment.

Any other pros/cons?

Rod Tarry is on a Brom beam, and his car has masses of grip, it has done a sub 7 second 0-100 time, which IIRC as quick as martins current skyline boxed 4wd escort give or take a couple of tenths.

Yes, i have fitted and adjusted one to a mates car. On close inspection it leaves alot to be desired.

Brom was certainly no engineer!

Its fitted, but the car is far from 'set-up' ready, welding seemed ok on this one though (No Pro Alloy welds but acceptable).....

Think this beam came via Martin H, and I know him and Brom had a understanding (Doubt Martin would allow shite through his shutters!!), so hopefully this one had the problems addressed as Mike Rainbirds had.

A mutual friend of mine, Dave and Helen has a white saff with Ahmed beam and it is awesome, you can tell the difference from a standard set up easily.
