Hi Guys,

Has any one fitted this modification to their 2B and can provide me with a photo as I want to check I have everything correct .

If it's this on then I've fitted it:

You need to have wishbone suspension to start with and this kit eliminates the bump steer in the original design.

What exactly do you need to know?

[steve1506]

Yes this is the kit I have to fit, I just wanted a photo of a front corner to check I have everything fitted okay if thats possible do you also have GAZ shocks and did you position the shock mounting U bracket to the lower wishbone in a different place to the standard hole provided.

 

Many Thanks

I have Gaz dampers fitted before the handling pack and I didn't need to move the lower fixing on the wishbone.

Hi all 

im looking at fitting this to mine what are the gains, are they noticeable 

cheers Darren

Yes, night and day. £ for £ it's the best money you'll spend to improve driveability

Hi 

when setting the top ball joint do you set the wheels upright or angle in slightly , mine at mo with standard wishbones are pretty upright? 
cheers Darren

A degree or so of negative camber (in at the top) won't hurt.

The limiting factor is you can only rotate the top ball joint in the wishbone by whole turns and still have the taper pointing down to fit in the hub upright. This can make it impossible to get the same camber on both sides.

Excellent thanks for the info haven’t bought the kit yet wanted to do homework first will be replacing all existing coilovers with the gaz shocks also unless there are any others that are recommended

A friend with a sliding pillar 2b bought the double wishbone kit and fitted it, I have photos of what needs to be cut and where the brackets go somewhere, send me your email and I’ll look them out for you.
