Thinking about selling these on so I can either fix the heap with the cash or buy something a bit quicker.Prototype set of tubular wishbones, rose-jointed, a proper fully-adjustable 3-pivot design, oversized (18mm) front rose joints to reduce wear and tear. Removes play in the front bushes for faster responses and more consistant handling (and as a bonus, stops the car pulling all over through deep puddles)
They're designed to take standard balljoints which is both cheaper and stronger than most designs that use a rose joint welded in at 90*.
They're made from T45 steel tube, the rose joints are PTFE/Kevlar lined Chromoly versions, complete with sealing boots to keep the dirt out (and grease in, all the joints are packed with moly grease to extend their life).
Allow for more travel than a standard wishbone if fitted with extended struts, camber is adjustable, as is castor, and there's a small amount of anti-dive adjustment available by altering the washers/shims on the rear joints.
However, with this version you cannot run a standard front anti-roll bar. I am working on a solution but tbh, I just ran harder springs and enjoyed the extra traction and grip from the front end.
And being my prototype version one side got left in etch primer and could do with a rub down and some paint if you want them shiny.
A group A set from Special Tuning would cost you over £900 and they don't have the either the adjustment or strength that these offer.
I can also help with setup if needed (hell, if your local I'll give you a hand to fit them if need be).
£650 ono.
Done about 4-5k miles but all joints are tight and in good condition.
I'll even give you a free set of joints if they wear out in the next 6 months ('cause they should last ages yet).
edit: Looking at the amount of views I've made a few people cough
Open to offers, no half eaten mars bars though, but if you've fit younger sister....
