Anyone have some they want to sell or know where to get from. Looking for something similiar to what Oscar was once selling.

I have a set i bought from mookeeh but i could not seem to make them work. I could be that i was stupid
but i cannot see any way to keep them locked in position. I ended up using another set of pillow ball ones. If you want to look at them i can bring them over as i still need to return those castors

Hey Shannon,
That would be good. As an aside, where did you get the pillow ball ones from.
Cheers

Mookeeh aswell but it took a few emails and photos for him to get it right.
If your running the same coilovers as me (ex cookies) The konis run a thicker strut piece in the centre which is also shorter aswell, meaninig that you would run into the same issues as i did.

i'm looking at doing a modification to the rear lower arm front mounting point to make it adjustable like the eccentric toe adjuster on the rear mounting point so we can adjust camber, its a better way i feel. just gotta take my car to the engineer to evaluate it..

nope, they used rose jointed lower arms, rose joints are sadly illegal on road cars. on the group a they cut the front leg of the control arm off and replaced it with a new sectoin including the rose joint. my idea is to run a similar arrangement to the rear mounting point, so i'd be modding the mounting point not the arm itself.

That won't adjust camber, just toe correct?

the original setup adjusts toe al, if u put another adjuster on the front of the arm u could adjust toe and camber.. the mods would have to be done to the cradle not the arm of course..
