No, mine's rose jointed, but to most intents and purposes they're comparable in terms of compliance, the only thing mine gets is some noise on broken roads - but it is just noise, rather than being uncomfortable.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

well as said the steering feel is 10 times better than any of the pattern/oe items, they are easier to fitas well, i tapped mine in with a copper hammer after a week or so i'm going to take the arms back off to check for any wear, i should've done around 800 - 1000 miles by then on mixed roads mainly country and town use (i deliver pizzas some nights of the week as well as working in a garage, so many many speed humps etc etc) |

i was toying with the idea of using the cast arms off the partner/blingo and welding an 'adjustable'bottom ball joint of some sort for altering camber. the cast arms are about 20mm shorter than the 306 1's, but don't think i'd trust the welds lol i know ecosse did this with their 405 T16 track car years back |
