308mc Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 here are the advantages of adjustable tension rods i found dramatically increase handling, corner speed, and steering response high rigidity pillow ball rods increase stability under heavy braking and straight line acceleration by reducing toe out and friction turn buckle allows for easy simple adjustment in wheel alignment settings/changes thanks, 101 Hey 101, looks good. Put me down for a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) thanks for your interest. they(technotoys) sell theirs for $80.00, how about $69.99 for mine? Sounds good to me, I'm in for the roll center adjusters P.S. you might start a new thread for them to make it easier to keep track of interested parties Edited March 23, 2008 by D_Venable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm interested in one set, but have a question... will these raise the front end ride height by 1-inch (or whatever the final dimension is) with these installed? here are the advantages of adjustable tension rods i found dramatically increase handling, corner speed, and steering response high rigidity pillow ball rods increase stability under heavy braking and straight line acceleration by reducing toe out and friction turn buckle allows for easy simple adjustment in wheel alignment settings/changes thanks, 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your talking about the Roll center adjusters, no, they won't raise the ride height, only the strut length ABOVE the spindle will raise the height, these go below the spindle. It moves the suspension arm down on the strut side. this is most useful for those with lowered cars, as it puts the suspension geometry closer to stock, including camber.

101PROPOSE Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) hello members, i finished prototype mk1 pillow ball tention control rod today. i will work on the adjustable sway bar endlink next. check out the pictures and let me know if anyone is interested. thanks, 101 http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/B-244.JPG http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/B-245.JPG http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/B-246.JPG http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/B-247.JPG Edited March 25, 2008 by 101PROPOSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetspd150 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 101 you can't make a custom pivot bracket to extend the threaded shaft for the pillow ball tention control rod? I was really hoping to use the bushing there as in your original first image. I think the bushing would provide some give for ride comfort for daily drivers. And use the metal washer for race setup. In otherwords make two brackets or one bracket that could handle metal washer or the bushing kit based on race/street setup. Let me know your opinion on this.

Sully Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/N-222.JPG Perfect.... I'll take one of those. Solid metal bushings aren't allowed in ESP. You can keep your poly bushings. I already have a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101PROPOSE Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 hello members, today i worked on prototype mk1 adjustable end links. check out the picture below and let me know what you think. it is almost identical as the one in the picture sully provided but i think it needs LHD & RHD thread adjusters to avoid taking this link off for the adjustment. let me know thanks, 101 MOOKEEH MK1 http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/B-249.JPG PICTURE FROM SULLY http://www.guldstrandmotorsports.com/ProdImages/Heim-Jointed-Sway-Link.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Venable Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 yes look at his site http://www.mookeeh.com/star.html The rear pillow ball mounts listed on the site are NOT adjustable. I do however remember seeing some adjustable ones on Ebay last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
