Ok im going to let the cat out the bag now, prob get told off by someone somewhere but hay, its the weekend and im bored, and with no car to play with its even harder to keep quite.

The hubs have a very expensive toe in/out adjuster, the problem with this is that, when you adjust the toe in/out, you also adjsut the camber caster angle as well, which is not good as normally you want to increase one and decrease the other.

A company local to me are goin to make new top arms, which will be able to fitted to the road Exi, if wishing to, it would mean that you would have to buy new rear hubs but it may be worth it if you like driving your car at the correct speeds on the track and roads, (cough).

Craig if you have time, it may be worth waiting to see what our car turns out like, as we may be able to sort something out with marlin and ourselves to then make it avaiable to customers.

Ive already said too much really but if you can wait it may be worth it. Our car will be finsihed by Stoneliegh 2008, and its first show will be Japfest 2008 at castle combe. So not too long to wait to see if they work well, if you choose to go down that route.
