I have this on mine ... really makes a difference, although the rear LSDs do transmit more road noise into the cabin with certain surface types...

Yes, the RSS control arms come with inner monoballs. If you have stock 2-piece control arms, you can just add Tarett monoball ends.

Thanks, it's all confusing, even in the Sharkwerks guide to tuning (they sell the same components).

Endorsement from Leh is pretty powerful.

All the RSS arms have monoballs!

That and the ease of adjustability and the servicing options set them apart..

plus they look awesome..

if its a mixed use car like mine you will notice more road noise in the cabin from the rear LCA monoballs just fyi ... but I echo the remarks about the difference in handling by the OP

I have 3.5 inch exhaust with RSR mufflers.. So i cant say anything about the noise..

But the crispness of the chassis is a lil better.. Should help the shifting also if there is less movement from engine/tranny and cables to shifter..??

Hi Leh, I wonder what RS you were referring to with these RSS parts at Roebling? BTW, I'm heading out to COTA in 2 weeks for some great track time. Jump on a plane and you can drive my car to see how the JRZs feel. I think you will be impressed. Allan

PS, Seth will be there.
