Are any 201/124/210/140 owners interested in replacing their stock rear suspensions with the solid / spherical rod end link type units? I am having a set made. Price quoted is $1600. This beats the RennTech price of $2200.

What are the benefits for this conversion? Besides the price, are there any drawbacks? Thanks.

These links are fully adjustable. This allows more accurate alignment esp. when lowering ride height. They also are not compliant and assure accurate wheel alignment when under heavy stress. They are a real benefit for track use. The ride quality is a little harsher approx. like the change to a plus one tire change and under poor road conditions they allow slightly more road noise, but not objectionable. The stock pieces really begin to die at 70K+ miles. You will begin to notice a significant loss of rear wheel control under cornering and acceleration. These correct that and are far superior to stock for traction under hard acceleration.

Lou,

I might be interested, but am curious what the installation might run for these? I've seen several other venders selling these for less than Renntech, but can't remember how much they are.

Thanks,
Eric
