The extended arms < exact length to be decided cos I am confused > are £25 each. all this is suject to making up an order for 10 minimum. He never mentioned the vat so I will check to see if its inclusive. £160 + some gaitors is not bad.

Thoughts and comments please.

Seems quite expensive.

Rob,
I'm trying to get in my head exactly what you get with this kit. My car is already OTR using a 2.4. Im trying to work out wether its worth the expense to get the correct geomatry or not ? I don't think the car has noticeable bump steer but i may be be wrong

The last car I built was sent away for the full monty suspension set up. The difference to drive was night and day., and I thought it was good before it went in. So I will go for it and do like johno has done and make all four corners adjustable, get the rack right and be a happy bunny.

Something quick, 2.1 or 2.4... Although I'm not certain I'll participate, I've paid ~150 pounds for the RallyDesign LHD quickrack already...
