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. Attached image(s) |

In regards to the monoball arrangement, its benefits may be negligible to someone running stock front suspension. However, if one removes the dust covers on the struts, as I've seen done, one could very easily pop the rubber out of its perch. This is assuming that you don't run a big ass washer underneath the rubber.
For the most part, however, the monoball is necessary for coilover front suspension. By the way, I'm not sure how much of a gimmick the boxed trailing arms are. I guess my only criticism would be that at least the weltmeister product doesn't reinforce the right areas. A boxed trailing arm that was on the shop's racecar broke where the box member meets the tube. I'll see if I can find it and take a picture. |
