    Default Rose Jointed suspension parts

    CAR – Ke70

    MOTOR – 4a 20v turbo

    USE – drift/street

    PROBLEM/QUESTION - hey fellas, im looking around at getting some rose jointed suspension pieces:
    Adj rose joint 4 link
    pan hard
    Castor rods.
    And maybe LCA’s

    ive read random comments about the T3 range, but can anyone elaborate on random comments.
    Anyone had person experience with this parts, how are they to deal with as a company?

    Have u had parts - break, spherical bearings crap out?
    stuff like that..

    Any suggestions for other brands? Yep, Apex got them in mind, want to see what else is tried and proven.

    Cheers

    After seeing the cusco gear i really wouldnt bother with anything else as fa as lca + castor rod setup goes.

    The T3 castor arrangement moves the location of the pivot from factory altering the geometry, presumably for the worse.

    As far as 4 links go, apex can supply all you need, with quality joints at a good price.

    You go down to your local race shop and buy/order them?

    Failing that, baker precision, pegasus racing, summit racing all sell various sized left and right hand thread rod ends. In Australia, meridian sell them but note most are imperial sizes. Summit sell a few metric sizes from QA1 if you feel more comfortable with metric stuff.
