I know that quite a few people have these but I can't decide between the two?

Any advice from anyone, which one is better, any problems?

Someone who had a very quick zt has already told me that zoo ones are a lot heavier, I'm not naming any names just want an opinion please before I order a pair :D

Ive got the Zoo one although i havent fitted them yet. They are not to much heavier than a std lower arm. I think there better than the fiesta frenzy ones caue they look alot stronger you can change castor aswell as camber and they built from scratch rather than being a std item modified.

I have some std lower arms machined like the fiesta frenzy ones with deflex bushs i would sell. Pics in gallery if your interested

I'm really interested on the "Front tubular wishbones - adjustable camber & castor" from ZOOMotorsport. Does any one have photos?

Also, on their website they "Add Rose jointed bottom ball joint to Front tubular wishbone kit +£40". Whats this?

Found this photos:

When you adjust the camber with those lower arms, doesnt it move the whole wheel in and out of the arch in an arch, instead of pivoting about the centre of the wheel?

no only the bottom of the wheel moves plus you can adjust the castor

These sort of suspension components look excellent for the track, but I can't see that they'll stand up to normal road use? Ie 36k mile intervals to replacement etc

I'm not interested, but for everyones sake what is the advice that comes with them with regards service/inspection intervals?

I really want solutions to sort the track geometry on the fiesta, but 36k miles service (which can be expensive) or less its not a good solution for a road car.

By looking to the std arms, they also can be moded to change castor, but it will not be so easy to try diferent castors. Oh well, once you know the castor to use, the damn thing can be welded anyway, unless its a track car that needs to be setuped up for every race.
