have a look at PPP - they are currently testing adjustable ones.

It all depends whether people would pay money to somebody for a safety critical component, who can't even be arsed to put effort into their spelling and grammar.

Already been on our cars for about a year, Hayesey has another trackday coming up soon, Andy is racking up road miles as/when and I'm planning on putting my car on the road for some more miles within the next month or so.

Once we're happy with them, they get sold, limited batches but rose joints are service items and will be availble from places like Rally Design etc.

as above, have had these on my car for a while now and have done a couple of track days on them.  No issues what-so-ever.

Inner joint is metal spherical bearing and in the outer I am using a nylon bush.

Also worth mentioning, when these do go on sale they require the chassis mount and subframe holes to be enlarged to 13mm to fit a larger bolt in for the rose joint.

Andy and Hayesey have both done this with the engine in situ- it's not easy!

I did it with the engine out at the time and it's a 5min job. Worth it for adjustable camber though.

All the rosejoints on our products come with rubber boots.  :)

Nylon outer bushes are required, I tried it without and there's just too much movement in the arm otherwise.

Drilling the chassis is possible (easiest with good quality sharp drill bits....) with everything in-situ, but involved jacking the engine in my case to get access. If you've got a 90° drill then it'd be dead easy!
