Looking at parts

I see there are 2 types of adjustable lower arm (there are also the rose joint type but I am looking at the road use types)

 

the black ones with a single adjustable point

 

and the cadmium coated ones with 2 adjustable points

 

any info on which are considered a better buy, or like all these things are there pros and cons either way

 

minispares do a good deal on the adjustable lower arms and tie rods with bushing - looks like good value

the Minispares ones. or  just get the static longer ones. what are the rules and regs out there?

Cheers

as a deal the minispares kit seems good, I usually set just a tad of neg camber on my mini and it goes through the MOT (shaken) here no probs, I had some rose joints but they wore and the thread in the arms was damaged beyond repair so I decided to renew the whole lot, without the neg camber I find the steering and handling to be much worse, so I can't wait to install the new ones,

thanks

I prefer the round cad plated ones Mini Sport sells, they're very robust and easy to adjust.

more threads to get gunked up the minispares ones are mainly internal. and easier to adjust that the Minisport ones.
