    thanks matey. still stuck on the different types. nothing they were saing in oprevious thread made sense too me. can someone tell me the different types and recommend what ones to get. from what i can see there is the one with just the polished bottom (as can be seen on KamRacing) and there is this one http://www.potn.co.uk/p1615009.htm

    The B&M ones are very good. We used to stock those until they stopped making them and we now do the compbrake ones - which I like the look of better.

    There are cheaper ones available also which do work but I've not tried them

    the b&m is good if you can find 1
    the compbrake is also a good option (the adjustability is a bonus)

    kam should have them i nearly had 1 but they ha d1 b&m left so i had that

    They are B&M iirc bud

    Or polish the standard yourself and use it along with the new kit

    Im in on the X-Sport link rod group buy atm and then i will be combining these uprated parts with a griffiths short shift and compbrake item...
