Bad welding, lack of adjustment and dodgy shims in the driveshafts because he cocked up the dimensions going by the ones i've seen.

Just to even things up, i was very happy with mine!!

The car was much better with it fitted....i wasn't fussed that the welding was a little untidy, being underneath the car meant it didnt matter at all to me!

**ps i reckon 1 of The Diva's 2 may have been my old one?

I saw it a while back whilst visiting friends. Well I thought it was at least and people seemed to confirm it was his old 3-door. All my dealings with Brom were positive

He offered me some new style arms if i paid him more money!

I said yes at first then decided i rather have my money back as i knew id just be worried about another failure. Once i asked for the moeny back he ignored me from then on and then i heard his company had folded and he was getting sent down for battering little boys or something cause they called him fat lol !

Ive seen quite a few ZOO products on cossies and theyve been very good products

I have a set of those arms, admitidly there the remade versions and are from thinker steel but they have been used hard on my mates RS and are now bolts to my track car.

Can't see there being any issues with um.

Don't know the bloke personaly and have never met him but the internet is great at spreading rumours etc

if he is still trading i would advise you go see him and look at his products as you'll only get contrasting feedback on here or anywhere on the web about any one you ask about.
