Default rear arm kits

ie polybushed or bearing'd rear trailing/lateral arms

what would be the advantage to running adjustable ones compared ot non adjustable ones with coilovers? i understand they adjust to toe/camber but would this be needed if you had coilovers with pillowball mounts?

Only £30 difference though

We can supply KSport and Hardrace rear arm kits. We ran the Hardrace on our STi6 and Zen Performance fitted a set of the KSport to a competition winning 500bhp hill climb GC8.

KSport are adjustable and rose jointed, £399 retail.

Hardrace offer three types:

1) Solid with uprated rubber bushes
2) Adjustable with uprated rubber bushes
3) Adjustable with rose joints

Which type would be of interest?

do you still stock the ones with bearings as opposed to bushes?

Sorry to Hijack but.....

Had my alignment done By Dave at Gatwick Subaru and he had an issue with the rears I was running -2 Camber! For road use he suggests -1 to keep tyre wear under control, the best he could get with camber bolts was -1.45 he suggested adjustable rear arms (Whiteline). I like the look of the Hardrace adjustable kit but have a question....

Are the Pillowball version noisier on the road compared to the bushed and if so how much over standard given this is a daily driven car. I know STI do pillow balled versions for road cars but these are non-adjustable how do the hard-race ones compare to these for noise etc.?
