I know someone at my track who is running the C-hub front, so maybe he would have the complete pillow ball to sell?
I'll check with him if you want....

I checked and he does have the complete pillow ball setup... arms etc... all brand new I think.
I'm told the pillow ball has more turn-in.... and maybe more steering in general.
A local racer put it on his Jammin last summer and said the same thing, a lot more initial steering.
But I have not run both on the same car... so I have to take their word.

Thats my understanding.
So why would a person consider taking away steering ?!?!?
buggy turns better than a Mugen for sure

i have the c-hub conversion on my caster im gonna race it this weekend im gonna drive cams car also to compare the 2 cars and cam will also drive mine to compare i will post back next week to let you guys know how the c-hub compares. i do notice that the c-hub has less bump steer than the pivot ball. i also am gonna try some curved steering rod ends also this weekend and see if i can gain anything with that. i just like trying out new stuff to better my car.

One lil question
I have a question for you guys,
I just got my ZX-1R and noticed the muffler stay wire is waaaaay too short. I recall somebody posting a part number for the Jammin "spring" stay on here somewhere but I cant find it. My roomate also has a ZX-1R and he uses the stay that came with his JP-4. I bought a JP-3 on ebay but it didnt come with one. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Chris
My new ride is almost complete, just waiting for my Jammin 16mm big bores to come in...
