I've been able to find four manufacturers/suppliers.
Give me some feedback about these. They are as follows:

These are made in Canada and are $195 CDN (US $??). They're inserts which use the stock housing. I've sent several emails to them with no replys.

These are from Tarett and are too pretty to install. The housing is encluded and has 6 mouting bolts for camber adjustment. Stock housing has four holes.

Lastly are the Windward Products for $449.00.

So which is the best buy?
Do you need 6 mounting holes?

BTW the Tarett's are $450.00

The top two offer NO additional provisions for adjusting the suspension alignment, all they do is replace the rubber with steel. They will help, but once you run out of range, you are SOL.

the other two allow you to have more agressive alignment settings.

JP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) has the Tarett Units.

which ones are Paragon selling - they all look pretty much the same to me.
one pair of these will probably end up on the 911 this winter, tho, so i'm interested in the outcome of this discussion...

I would think that, beside the fact that two of them have the addtional mounting holes for the camber adjustment, they would all give the same perfomance.

Right?

Paul,
you didn't say how much the Tarett mono balls are?

Is that a factor for you? I'm guessing.... No.

The Taretts are $450, but I only see three holes.

The Paragons have 6!! Doesn't look like anyone else has 6.

Sorry for the confusion

Just to make sure there is no confusion, the Tarett units have only three holes but they are offset to provide additional adjustment. The housing is also narrower and to boss for the bearing is smaller to allow more adjustment. They are also the purdiest IMO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

Hi Ira,

Your ears must have been burning or you have a filter looking out for you huh?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

On the Tarett units, can the stock alignment be met with the offset threaded holes?

Thanks,

Calling me an old woman now huh???? put em up !!!

Maybe, not completely stock setting, but not too out of range so that one can get semi-normal tire wear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
