We have them in limited supply.. They're not on the site directly as they're a bit tough to get a hold of, however we can send you a paypal invoice for them if you decide..
Thanks for the help there Haywood.. Stuff's on it's way! ..

what do they do? can I get a brief description of each part from left to right.
More than likely I will buy them.

The first is the rear chassis brace that was all the buzz several weeks back.. It reduces the flex from the middle rear portion of the chassis allowing the rear of the car to rotate better in some conditions
Next are the rear mouldings that move the lower shock mount position outboard about .5mm offering a similar effect and contributes to a bit more corner speed in some conditions, typically higher traction.
Finally are the shock mounts themselves that are simply easier to use as they don't require the plastic spacer as do the stock units.. eliminates binding at the top of the shock. These are usually completed with CSK washers reversed and mounted on the ends to hold the shock in place..
Hope it helps!

Moving the mount in would make the rear more locked down, not less.

Umm, don't they move the lower shock mount out about 0.5mm, at least thats what Hoffer mentioned before..

Tech Rookie
has anyone found that the bearing in the micro caster blocks can have play which gives alot of slop. i have tried the m4x14 screw mod but still lots of play. if i look closely though i can see the inner bearing race moves a bit and also the out race moves in the micro caster bit.
the right hand side has alot more slop than the left.
going to look into better 4x9x4 bearings to try and prevent the slop
