Not had it done, but its around £480 inc vat and fitted from Str8 Six i think....people who have had it done quote a big difference.

Apparently not available anymore, according to a post a couple of days ago, as they have run out of the steering arms.

ah...problem then.

Racing green used to advertise the saggy steering arms on their website for arouns £120 each. Could do the mod yourself, but then would have get the geometry reset. By the time you factor in the labour (2 hours is) the Str8 Six mod was priced OK i thought. Btter that than risk ruining tyres on the way to get the geometry reset!!

Thanks for letting me know....hope fitting goes OK.

What thickness do you reckon the plating is and did it cause any trouble with nut / bolt thread fits?

I'm not sure on thickness of plate. The supplier reckons 20 mins gives about 10 microns and I'm plating for about 50 mins. No problem with threads even after re-plating both the bolts and the nuts.

We'll see what the later wishbone set up does for my bump steer...
