I'm looking at these mini sport ones on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4633890772&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:VRI

They will be for a road registered car that will see track use a few times a year. So obviously no rosejoints.

Any better options out there?

Josh,
They are the ones from MiniSpares UK, GR says they are probably best available now for a road car.
There's also a version of these with Rose joints- don't go there unless it's for track only. :wink:

I bought a set of those for mine (with a separate set of castor bars). Everyone I've shown them to said they were the business.

Minisport will put stuff back on ebay or sell you a set if you ask.

Arnt all adjustable castor bars not allowed on road. somhow the rose jointed ones have created a rep for its self. But is is actually illigal to tinker with the castor setings of a car, I thought.,

No, not in NSW at least.
I've also heard a rumour that rose-jointed ones are not illegal either, just unsuitable for the road, but mine are rubber bush type on both.

They don't flex so geometry is more precise. But, they transfer all road vibes to the body, and dust/dirt/road grime combine to give them a short life if used for road work.

I have The mini sport ones. with carsor bars. Rose Jointed and bushed are available. I only plan to use the rose joint's on track they do look like their very well made and have good adjustment. they won't dissapoint.

I can't remember how much I paid. everytime I ring Minisport it cost's me a fortune.
