what is the actual point to them? surely the standard once are as good as it gets?

oh well looks like im gonna have to save up and get some areasix lower arms

IMO
Yeah, why not just have the ford ones, they are extremely cheap (£15 pair). Strong as you can get and not exactly heavy so you won't loose much by buying lightweight ones.

i need ones were i can adjust camber cause tires do last me very long

also i was only interested in those above wishbones because i'd seen someone else modify the ones they got to make them camber adjustable so i thought i'd have ago but im gonna leave it and get areasix ones

they do look shite!

drop happypaul a pm he made his own camber adjustable ones iirc for his pickup

areasix adjustable wishbones are what you want, except i think they went bust but there ars still some 2nd hand floating about. Wonder if theres an alternative product out there somewhere. As said, he needs to adjust the camber angle so it doesnt eat tires. Need a set myself mate.

area six didn't go bust , from what i read on PF ian decided to hang up his spanners as he wanted to spend more time with his family, but recently i have heard the zetec god has opened his doors again

so i'd try give him a ring

Yeah hes back You can make your own adjustable ones, there is a guide somewhere. Might be here or on FT. Ford ones arent £15 a pair lol, that would be pattern ones. Ford ones retail at about £30 each i think. I'll ask someone who recently bought some.

If you want a cheap adjustable camber ones, what i would do is get some QH pattern ones - ive used them and i know people who have on 60mm drops and they last very well. Then either keep them as they are and make them adjustable camber, or if you want to go one better, get some poly bushes in there, and make them adjustable. Be alot cheaper, but if you get it wrong then thats the only downfall.

im currently using QH ones they seem pretty good on my Si i've had one on for over a year now and is still going strong.

Gonna see if i can buy some areasix ones shortly

i run the area 6 bottom arms on my car and thyre very good

Spherical bearings and camber adjutable ball jionts

I had a set of Deflex bushes in Ford arms for 2 years and never had a failure, and for the money very good Id say.Deflex offer a lifetime warranty, whereas Powerflex dont, and theyre 3 times the price

I have a set of Mk3 pattern balljionts ( 3 bolt) which have been machined to give the camber adjustement, Id sell them for £25 if anyone wants them, but remember for a MK3 , not MK3.5
