Don't get me started ......

Ah right, sorry, seems his post was defending a standard beam. My bad, standard beam's shit

Gav Diamond

Think it was meant as a piss take bud as in to say "surely all good spec cars have a uprated rear beam"

Am saving for a SCS one as sure mine with the polybushes instead of rose joints can be inproved upon, lol

Come on let's talk beams then as I'd like to spend my money on the right item.

Need pics also

Cheers Mat.

COCHYN

SCS 6 degree!!!! No other option mate.

Rsmat

Thats nice mate...who else has this beam and what are your views.?

Sorry for all the question but I want to know that I'm spending 1k+ on the right beam and set up.

COCHYN

Have you heard any bad review about the SCS beam? I haven't and not seen a car with one fitted unable to do what the driver pushes it hard to do. They don't twist and the fab work is second to none. Really mate, if I had a spare 1k right now, I wouldn't hesitate. Have you been in a high powered Cossie with one fitted? You'll be sold by the end of 2nd gear

I have one in my race car and the only issue i had was one of the ajusting bolts came loose if you're in no rush matt when I have built my new engine I'll be testing it on track and you're more than welcome to hop in for a ride ! You will be impressed

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Ive not heard nothing about any mate... Thats why all the question because I just want the right item...no not been in one I'm afraid...have you drove jhons car..?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Thankyou so much mate... Top offer....

COCHYN

You having a laugh right? John won't let anyone drive that But I did back it out of the drive once But in the passenger seat in snow/ice days around Snowdonia, in the rain, in hot sun and trying to kill me on the way to my own wedding....it's the best mod you can fit! Hard to explain, but on a stock beam in a straight line, you nail it and if it's wet the beam want to step out. Now on this beam, you can feel the back end twist a little to the right and it grips down hard with no awkward nervous twitch. You need to get in one

Mark at MK Motorsport noticed something about my SCS beam that wasn't ideal. To be honest I can't remember exactly what it was, it was minor but still frustrating when spending that kind of money you expect it to be perfect.

I think it was something to do with the toe adjustment and it matching from either side.

But tbh, if I was to do it all again, I'd still get an Ahmed/Rainbum/SCS beam

Jay,

scs beams are just copies of the ahmed ones by the looks of it so why not buy it direct from ahmed ?and the reaon i say this if hes the creator then its a original

COCHYN

If that would be the case, then it's been developed further. So I'd rather an updated version

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Alan those pics look identical to the ahmed

Ok who's cheaper then..

I am not allowed to comment comparing beams as you know, but the scs beam differs very slightly, in the way of which they are fabricated. I won't say anymore as I don't want any more points LOL

Flannigan, we've never had an issue with it coming loose on race cars or road cars but a concentric nut set up is a possibility if you do have trouble. And is easy to fit if you know anybody handy with a tig

This is a pic of an Ahmed trailing arm. When a friend of mine took measurements off the arms they were different lengths.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

please do explain the differences jim

JamesH

iTrader: (21)

I now seem to remember this is what Mark spotted with my SCS beam

GARETH T

I recon ones tig welded ones mig welded if I'm taking the hint

I'm using a Scs 6 degree rear beam on my 3dr the fabrication work is really good !!! I measured the arms and are the same length , mine is set to 2 and a half neg camber and it's perfect for road and track. Tyre wear is much better than before , I know these beams are a bit dear but they make the car handle so well

I've had no probs with my adrenaline stage 2 beam, transformed the handling, and can put all the power down from 2nd gear onwards. That scs beam looks very nice!!

Not quite james it was e distance between the inner arm and outer pick up point which differed slightly on your arm, we never see this but had yours put right

The arms have a mixture of mig and tigged parts

JamesH

iTrader: (21)

Double post

JamesH

iTrader: (21)

Fair enough Jim, I can't exactly remember what it was now!

I don't remember it being put right, I thought that was just reaming the rose joint holes out, and I was told the arm issue wouldn't make any difference?

I'm sure it's in a thread on here somewhere

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

I remember that now actually, but we did have your beam back and sorted the distance between inner and outer

JamesH

iTrader: (21)

Ah fair enough mate, I wasn't aware that had been fixed, thought it was just something that was seen as ok, and considered fine

Found the thread:

https://passionford.com/forum/genera...-needed-2.html

I don't think it was the inner/outer though: From reading back it, seems that when both inner joints were put in the same positions on the slots, it was giving different toe readings each side

Ive heard loads of good things about changing the rear beams and arms on cossies too.Its just the price is a bit to much for me.If it was 500 quid for the suspension i might consider it.

COCHYN

Ah Glenn the money isn't that bad for what you get. Go in a Cossie with one fitted, you'll love how not like a typical Cossie it feels on the back end, you can actually use all the power

I'm having one fuck it... Lol

Just don't tell the Mrs...

Ha ha... Told her it makes the car safer so she's well up for it....

COCHYN

Well I wouldn't say safer, certainly makes you more confident behind the wheel, therefore more dangerous

Marc sierra

iTrader: (1)

Well, I wouldn't say that. IMO the that beam is not even 6 degrees. And up to now I haven't seen anything to prove me wrong.

Thanks for all of te replies

After looking around I have decided to go for a Mk Motorsport rear beam. I have seen the quality of he's work so I am happy to go with that.
