    Raised wishbone mounts?
    Camber gain under load? The same as ball joint extenders, but on the other side of the wishbone

      You dont really want to be raising the wish bones any more as this will increase your roll centre height. The main reason being the OEM one moved every time i have taken the car out. I was completely changing the toes every time on slicks. So a welded in option like this is perfect.

      Also it gave me the chance to Add a air jack mounting point and change the location of the toe link so i get a better toe curve under compression to help the car turn in more.

      Puglife did a out standing job with the design and jig plate, he's looking to push them out in more of a OEM+ trim after this ones tested. Rest assured i will test the **** out off it !

          dam, someone beat me too it! Had the designs for something similar for a while now.

          Looks really good!

                    chef, how far upwards/inwards are the c-arm/subframe pickups? are the c-arms longer than stock?

                      Yeah the wish bones are a different shape to the OEM items and wish bone pick ups are same as stock.

                          Pick up points are as OE but James' version there has a variation of +-20mm Y Axis on the pickups. Will get final fabricated weights and then muster the costs (Wont be to everyones budgets but then again I will have to outlay nearly £9k to get them produced as a small batch....

                          Current development time - 26hours... Chef where do you want the bill sending

                            It's a lot lighter than stock I'll weigh it after I finally get it tested.

                            I wanted to get the ARB arms out of the wind but they clash with the camber axis. I am going to mount it in the car and cut the **** out of the rear
