Front Control Arm Double Offset Bush

[Tony Prodigy]

Has anyone played around with these ? I wonder if the stated improvement is what they claim.

I was going to but decided against it (since I'd only had poly bushings installed a couple of weeks prior). My 'return to centre' has become noticeably less responsive since lowering the car but it's still more than sufficient, so any improvement over the stock caster would probably be overkill (in my opinion). 

There isn't much of a difference in price between those and standard poly bushings, so it could be worth it if you're planning on going poly anyway (one of my favourite upgrades 😁).

Have a read of the following link.

Wheel alignment is going to involve adjusting the castor, camber and toe. Note that they mention using either a single or double offset kit. I am sure that they will have to "play around" to get the bushing in the right offset position. Something like initial fit, check alignment then reposition bushing to get the desired result.

Sounds like a Royal P.I.T.A Ashley. Who has time to do this ? 

I guess if you do have the time to set it up correctly it could very beneficial, but you need to be realistic too.
