I finally got the modified lower arms on the the Fezzie now and i've had the car Laser tracked... what a difference, more control, no torque steer, no tram lineing, it goes straight!!!!!!! even fast over taking is much better controlled! (you should have seen the Corsa SRi driver, he do-do him self!)
Highly recomended!!
Buy a set tomorrow!

I still have mine sitting here and waiting for my conversion to be completed so that I can feel the benifit along with my Plate Diff.
Very Anxious now!

Was they from Ian H??

How much??

[halfpint]

can you explain what you had done ?

pauls xr2i needs new bushes but powerflex/superflex (whatever they are called) don't do them

He changed the lower arms but halfords had given him the wrong ones so the steering became worse

Any suggestions ?????

[grahamb]

R they the TAS ones? Fancy some of those myself. Worth the investment?

What have you done mate?
How Much is it?

[AdrianFRST]

They are modified lower front suspension arms from Ian Howell.

They are basically a new set of genuine Ford (not pattern) arms that have had the rubber bushes replaced with rose joints and been modified to allow +/- 10mm adjustments in length, therfore providing a means of camber adjustment.

Having rose joints instead of rubber bushes the car doesn't wander about as much and is a lot more controllable.

I spoke to Paul last night and he says there is no noticable difference in ride quality, just a mild increase in road noise, and the car seemed easier to turn at low speeds.

Highly recommended.

Cost is about £260 for the pair, made to order to the highest possible standards.

[Paul R]

As Ade has explained... Made to order £260 + labour and Tracking, has cost me all in £300.
I had a set on order for 3 months though, but worth the wait!

paul i got mine off ian last week.can`t
put em on yet! as i`ve just knackered

[Paul R]

Paulj, hows the motor, i've got some wicked footage of your car flying around Donnington! your pulling away from a Esc Cossie
I like the new styling it looks almost the same... just err.. black!
Will you be at Trax?
Get those arms on!!!!!

[sunnyFRST]

so how many people actually have these now?
Me, PaulJ and PaulR.
Anyone else?

PaulJ - Sounds like your having the same sorta probs as me (regarding going through more gearboxes than hot meals!)
Ian told me that you also have a Quaife plate diff (I think) - Did you have to add a secondary speed sensor for your Speedo as the diff takes up all the space in the box and doesn't allow you to use the standard speedo cable!?? - If so what one did you go for!?
