    control arm bushings

    should i go with urethane aftermarket http://flyingbrickperformance.com/ca...roducts_id=228

    or oem e30 m3 ones http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp

    It look like the m3 ones will create more caster

          I like poly M3 solid offsets - just make sure to grease them well.

            I kinda cant find M3 ones in urathane form. i think for street use i will go for the stock M3 ones.

              I don't often drive over 100MPH.

              Offset is a waste, and makes parking harder.

              Urethane makes the brakes better too, so urethane non-offset for me.

                AKG. They have solid poly bushings, both offset and non-offset.

                  how does it make it harder to park? does it make less turn angle?

                    more caster will create high speed stability, increase steering effort, and usually detract from negative camber..........Except at high steering angles it can actually add negative camber.....
