Re: 80 series links in a surf/ longer Controll arms

Now i was worried these may bend or break off, any ideas on the best way to brace these to strengthen them up?

I know bracing them will stiffen it up and make it ...

Hyme joints on the road...

Hey

Looking into running hyme joints on a 4 link rear. Curious about how they perform on the road in a daily driver?
Heard mixed reviews on them.
Do they give out much vibration through the arms chassis etc?
How do they wear too?

I got the standard 80 upper and lower arms. Will use the surf panhard.
Going to try the std lowers and buy another set of adjustable uppers.
I will have to get heavy duty lowers eventually cos i will bend them!
