Tony Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 wheels-inmotion's exclusive adjustable drop-links, priced at around £69+ per axle Our link compared to OEM Adjusted compared to OEM With comprehensive fitting instructions and technical support I have decided to add another 15mm to the adjuster body, so this is not the finished product, in addition these self-lubricating rose jointed links can come with a protective rubber boot for those worried about contamination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 They look a great bit of kit mate With the extra 15mm how adjustable will they be? When you price them per axle does that mean the front and rears use the same type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Appologies for my ignorance but what do adjustable drop links do? You can change the pre-load on the roll bar to reduce body roll or control over/under-steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarkMalbot Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 PS I have just read on another forum that Steve Heath is selling the same thing for less? lol. I see the instructions say Steve Heath Engineering Limited on the bottom. I take it this is who is making them for you? I hope they are not using your design and development and then under cutting you. Could all just be Chinese whispers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I approached Steve to develop the NC links and based the retail price on the NA-B links, our price should be the same as his for the NA/B though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarkMalbot Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 NA = Mk1 from 1989 to 1998 NB = Mk2 from 1998 to 2005 NC = Mk3 from 2005 to Present Also there is a Mk2.5 which was a face lift and now a Mk3.5 coming out in April 2009.

It's made me look a right numpty So the drop links on their site are for the earlier versions and the WIM ones have been tweaked to the spec you want? The price does seem strange for what doesn't look like much difference when you compare the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices on their site are for the MK1/2/2.5 as Mark says, i have exclusive rights (more or less) for the yet to be released MK3 links which are different to the rest due to a totally new suspension design.

Their site is misleading then as it states they fit all MX5's with no mention of only being for the MK1/2/2.5...so what's stopping people buying them direct thinking they're for the MK3/3.5 (when it's out). Think they had better update the page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarkMalbot Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Am I correct in thinking that to put a loading on the antiroll bar the adjusters have to be unequal to each other to add torsion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.. also you can off-set the preload front/rear and manipulate the cornering properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
