REAR ROSE JOINTED SUSPENSION LINKS

Having  a large batch of 10 kits being made right now. Kits will replace the std arms with rubber bushing with new ERGAL arms and rose joints. Each kit is inclusive of all necessary hardware for a direct fit.

Kit content:

4 x 7075 ERGAL arms

8X motorsport grade sperical bearings

16 x  alloy misalignment spacers

8x locking nuts

Each kit is priced at EURO 230 , approx 250 CAD and 230 USD at current rates.

This is a very good price and will transform the handling of the car.

Just FYI, the straight arms I used had contact with the subframe on factory suspension at full droop.  Likely not an issue for most, but just an FYI.

I use them on mine and they don't foul the subframe.

Great, maybe mine were a bit thicker, or my car had different geometry.

Can you explain how these will benefit handling? All they do is replace the stock bars in the back? I'm not familiar with the different types of joints, and their benefits. Are these rods adjustable?
Thanks

I use Drummond motorsport coilovers on mine and brace do not foul the subframe. Really depends on the free lenght of the damper, but Drummond have plenty of travel and are quite long...BC,D2,K sport are all shorter than mine.

With regards to befnefits...Stock arms use rubber bushing. Rubber is more compliant, especially on 20+ year old cars. Even the polybushes are not so firm in my opinion and still cause a lot of unwanted geometry changes, cause the rubber is yes harder than the stock one, but still not firm enough.

With my arms you will get rid of rubber bushing and replace them with rose joints, just like any serious race car. This solution allows for more stable geometry, better feeling and handling.

When used with the tie arms bushing conversion, the full reak kit can be converted to rose joints, for exceptional feeling and handling. Have been running mine on this upgrade for 1 year. Really love the feeling, noise is not increased , great handling

I can second that road noise did not increase.  It actually was quieter for me when I started running my kit.

read this to understand
