I used to have them on my indy.
I can only recommend them - they make camber adjustment really easy and quick, they also mean that you can get the adjustment spot on as opposed to
the nearest thread on the ball joint.
Does he still do them?
Cheers

I have them and they look pretty good.
You can buy them from Rally Design instead of direct from GTS:

So, apart from the bones, what else is involved? Do mounts need moving? Other parts required?

Straight swap - unbolt the old ones and slacken off the locknut, twist them off the top ball joints.
Connect the new ball joint to the turnbuckle, bolt in the new wishbone on the existing mounts. - Remember you'll need some new bushes and crush
tubes as you might struggle to get the old bushes out of the old wishbones.
Finally adjust to give desired camber setting, tighten locknuts and enjoy
Cheers

just had this reply from darren price including postage and thieving get tax (boy am I being Polite) works out to about £95. will be ordering later
today
Hi Tony,
We don't do the MK style angled jobbies anymore, as i figured out they are the same dimensions as our own Panther wishbones, except for the
angled ball joint, which you don't need.
£54 for a pair of top wishbones, and £12.50 for a pair of camber adjusters. You may want to get some new bushes at £2.75 each (8 off required, or pull
out your current ones).
Kind regards,
Darren

I bought 'em and I like 'em!
They get commented on at shows etc as they look a proper match for the lower wishbones, still better I think than the MK ones even now they are oval
tube.
But....
Would I buy them again now, yes, provided I got them Cash on delivery with a target date.
Otherwise, given the feedback on here, I would be "cautious".

Am I missing the point here? If they are available through Rally design why would you attempt to get them from Dodgy Darren?
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Darren is the supplier of said item to Rally Design. Only difference is that Rally Design seem to be a decent outfit and buy in bulk so as to avoid
the inevitable "Darren delays!"

You'll get them if you order them from GTS. You might wait longer than from other suppliers, but you will get them.
Ask him for an expected delivery date if you do order them.
They do look the biz as Razman said.

threads. geuss how I KNOW!!. to be fair Darren replaced them return of post !!
