Rear 4-links: Battle Version vs. T3
I'm looking at upgraded 4-links and panhard rod, but a few questions have come to mind:
When lowering, how low can one go before needing to upgrade?
Which one is the best choice? Battle Version or Techno Toy Tuning?
The BV stuff is $510 and the T3 stuff is $449 with a $25 package discount which I expect Battle Version would do as well. The difference then amounts to $36, which is less than it costs to take the GF to a movie (and less than 10% of the whole price), so the difference is small enough to not matter.
On the face of it, T3's stuff looks better, but Battle Version has a pretty good reputation...
What do you think?

T3 has also a very good reputation, not the same as Battle Version tho...
I dunno what i'd go for honestly. Ask them and tell them how it is, get them to give you a better price on shipping and so, put them against each other.

It's a buyers market.

Personally, I'd go T3, I like spherical joints they arent half so harsh as people make out. Im sure the BV ones with bushes ends are great, but for me, flex is bad.

I would probably go with battleversion's stuff... but I really dont think it matters quality-wise anymore. T3's stuff looks more appealing from the cosmetic point of view, but I dont feel the need for spherical rod ends that much..my car is enough of a noisy bugger as it is with poly bushes.

BV no question, there stuff is excellent and really know know their stuff.

P.S. their rubber bushed at one end for a reason. sphericals at both ends is bad, unless you upgrade to equal length rods, or a watts-linkage

I'll be the first to say that I would be confident in running BattleVersion parts on our race car. We race side by side with him in Formula D (and this year, Alex gets to judge us, as he is one of the official Formula D judges for the upcoming year) He's a good guy, and his products are very well designed.

I think that you'll be happy with either our products or his, it's just a matter of personal preference. Either product will give you the durability, adjustment and performance you are looking for.

Here are updated pics of our Techno Toy Tuning 5 links. They have been this design for over 3 years, our website is just horribly out of date (expect that to change very soon)

Hey Gabriel, since you re here, yes plz, update the site and pricing, or just pay a visit here and post some items.

You could also offer some discounts every now and then for the members of our forum Smile

This would keep your company's name high in our attention, dont you agree?

Cheers,
Anastasopoulos Achilleas
