Now, I have just invested the tidy sum of £60 in a pair (both..2) of wishbones for a Ford Racing Puma ST160 on Ebay..
I'll let you know...I'm assured that they are longer than standard
We'll see

You will be sending them back :lol:
I bought some too, the listing has all the Puma models with the St160 in there.

They were a different design to the Ford ones too, so I couldn't modify to FRP size.

If you want new arms, i do a swapout service on the lower arms...and carry a spare ready powdercoated set in stock complete with new Bushes and Ball joints... :D

So, even though they are listed for ST160 only and the bloke e-mailed me and confirmed that they were correct and longer...
They turn out to be just standard Puma?
Bu**er..why do people just waste your time like this?
Thanks for the heads up

Yep,

I had seen them as well, but FRP have the welded on section as per the picture, the ebay ones definately dont.

wow, the construction of those Delphi ones looks so 'cheap'.. :? :lol:

I'd bet there noticably lighter than oem spec arms just down to the quality/thickness of the steel they're made of.. :idea: :|

I ordered a set of Quiton hazel ones for my fiesta a year back, and just sent them straight back again... rubbish they were!.. :?
