chris84 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Right guys ive found some one who can make adjustable panhard rods for the starlet but he is hesitant as he is unsure of the matket for them. He said they would likely come in at under £100 complete with bushes and hardware and also powder coated Quote
lukEp Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 You can pick them up brand new for about £100 so tell him not to bother. An adjustable rear X brace or b pillar/harness bars will be better. Quote
Fozzie Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 To be fair, his sample Ford ones that he makes look much better quality than the crappy Whiteline one.If it undercut by £30 odd he'd probably do ok out of it. Quote
chris84 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 His ford ones are good a few of my mates have them Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Get some pictures and reviews of his work and create a group buy. He might be able to do them cheaper if you get 10 people?I think you have to ask admin for permisson on group buys? Quote
morgey Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 As above group buys can only be run by traders. Get some pics up of the ford ones. If they were made adjustable on car, like the cusco/rsr ones, that would be good plus if its cheaper than the rest its something we could look at if he was interested. Quote
chris84 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Once he has measurements he would be able to make them to order at around £60 pound he said i think im going to use my car as a guinea pig as i want some other stuff Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) £60 sounds like a very good price to me, especially if it adjustable on car like rsr and cusco.Let use know how it goes.He must do other parts as well? Edited September 23, 2015 by 5T4R7ET N/A Quote

Calum122 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I got a Brand New Cusco Pan Hard Rod for around £60. In fact I got this lot for £330. Cusco Front and Rear Carbon Struts, £90 each New. Cusco Lower Arm Brace £30 new and the Cusco Pan Hard Rod. I haven't fitted the rest yet. But it is all legit. Quote
glanzadude Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 ^^^ where did you buy them for so cheap? Quote

Whitenoize Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Well worth getting your own stuff from Japan I'm sure them Cusco braces are over 200 each on I'd-workz 😂 Quote
Calum122 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Yep, but took 8 weeks. And it's all money up front. Postage was £80, so that brought the total up to £400. Not quite the £320 I said earlier. So there are costs and time issues. My advice would be to order lots of stuff all in one go to reduce shipping costs. Or at leasts, cost of scale... Quote

I'm keen to know more ha Quote
