Okay, i know of 4 options for monoballs that will fit our cars.

looking for feedback on any of them, particularly the rennline product, as it's the cheapest option (and since i've cut my chassis/strut-mounts, i don't need aftermarket camberplates to get more camber).
-------------
1st option, Tarret

http://www.tarett.com/Browse_Item_Details....89_911912914930

strut mounts with monoballs already inside. $450

---------------

2nd option, Weltmeister

http://www.weltmeister.com/ProductDetails....x?productID=371

look similar to the tarret, but weltmeister stuff is generally quite a bit higher on the 'crap' factor. don't have a price.

3rd option, Elephant racing

http://www.elephantracing.com/suspension/m...edmonoballs.htm

okay, they make good $hit. only a bearing, doesn't include camber plates or anything -- but again, i don't need these. they are "sealed" for protection from the elements. $295

-----------------------

4th option, Rennline

http://www.rennline.com/suspension/monoballs914.htm

these are also sealed, come without strut mounts, just the bearing, but only cost $225. i can almost swallow that, but i'm wondering if the quality is as high as elephant racing.

please, discuss amongst yourselves...
