Griff tho, if I buy a product I want it ready to bolt on I dont want to be pissing around taking it to get powder coated. Plus I'm guessing would cost 80 quid ish to get it painted.

Ive just fitted an MK motorsport beam to my sierra race car
I raced it at cadwell park 2 weeks ago and with no other changes (I was even on last years tyres!) I went half a second faster, the car was much more stable than ever before.
I can wholeheartedly recommend marks beams

That's a good question I'm going over my car front to back so once my supra diff and rear beam are in I'm going to look at adjustable front lower arms and a bladed roll bar

The brackets weld on and you need mark to weld on threaded inserts onto your bottom arms

we do these wrc type that are the right length and geometry as standard ,they come with the adapter in to suite 2door or 4x4 uprights but regain the roll centre etc you lose from lowering ,but you need the compression struts with them, they use the wrc bearings etc. so are very strong and are replaceable and have provision for the bladed roll bar mount
