I bought Audi Sport wishbone

[Audi_CQ]

now you can see why we didnt bother making any for others they have no idea as to cost of materials and jigs before you even fabricate them ,

Most people doesn't make a custom part from scratch so they don't now how much work is involved. They just look at prices for China made parts on ebay....

He 80% of the cost is material that has to be used to make sure that the wishbone will be strong and durable for racing.

600 Euros a pair?

Ouch. I'm out.

Can't find the post, but I'm sure someone in Holland (jeffer???)was working on something like this before - whatever happened to them?

Are you going to make them to take the ur quattro struts as well? Or are they the same fitment as the s2 struts?

[Albert]

As far as first calculations go the set (left & right) for the front would cost around 600 euro. This set can be mounted in stock S2. Pictures will follow.

In sure that the solution will be made with the S2 struts in mind, for reasons that the S1 struts are not really off the shelf items and that Albers has advertised them on the S2 forum.

An i dea i had was to use rose joints mounted on plate that bolts to the frame, than to machine a rod to fit the bottom of the strut with a 10mm spacer which will then have a small smooth part which is the thickness of the joint and then the rest would be threded then a rose joint could be used like this.

Maby im just confusing the issue, ill make a picture and post it if iv confused everybody

Nice idea here, but only viable for road-car use if it can incorporate the stock bottom balljoint... The Audi Sport item would have worked with some exotic rose-jointed affair and a different fitment to the strut as already mentioned.

Should be stiffer and lighter than OEM item. Hard to quantify the benefit sitting here. Price ?????

Whooooa...

Slinky...and damn quick.

How many years you been playing with Solidworks...

Must get myself a copy soon...

How come they taper at the main bush ends?

what are t45 tubing........? the steelquality?? or

[G60Rallye]

I would be up for a set of these, front and rear to fit standard ur uprights.

Are you going to be making them from T45 tubing?

[Rusty]

I would have thought yes to both David but as to how much well that's another matter. Depend really on price too. Proprietary tubing in the right grade is light and strong and with the cross bracing it will make it better. It will be a lot lighter than the cast ones.

[s2driveruk]

maybe i am missing something but I'm struggling to see any major benefit with this setup? Are you really going to get a) a much stiffer setup than the cast oem versions and b) save that much weight?

Don't get me wrong would be more than happy to be proved wrong, just playing devils advocate for a moment
