Rob from SCC Performance use Deflex (I think) in his track car. Drop him a PM and I'm sure he'll look after you

They look pretty smart mate. I take it theres a big difference in handleing with these fitted?? Any customers on here got em?

Would we need the rose jointed TCA's aswell?

Probally have it all corner weighted and those bits fitted in one go I recon. Once we get the engine in and sorted I'll be in touch.

what difference does rose jointing the rear beam do?

does it do much, cos wouldnt have thought it would make that much as there isnt that much horizontal movement in them!


ready to stand corrected tho!

front arms look the dogs tho

trouble with rear beam is under load it flexes and twitchs due to such a large bush and a small bolt 12mm it hi speed cornering it just flexes
also the rear beam as standerd is not truly parallel to the wheelbase of the car
most ppl will find it goes around left hand bends better than right due to the angle of the beam in standard postitoin
rose jointing and ajusting this makes the rear loads more stable

Brom,
for the rear beam does the £175 include fitting and setting it up? also, Does it retain the ARB? or is this replaced with something bigger & better?

Cheers,
Brendan

What benefits do you get from rose jointed wishbones?

And how much would it cost for fitting and setting up?
