                  I have brand new M3 bushings to go in, but the GB sounds good.

                    I'm interested.. I think I need new control arms. not looking forward to replacing them, but I have a rattle/vibration that's been getting worse over the last month.

                      Good picture. Why THR's eyeball arms are better than other competition. size matters.

                        Did take this picture? Are the bushings still off of the car? If so, would you mind taking a picture of the THR bushing and the off-set bushing with the mounting holes lined up? I'd like to get a sense of how much more off-set the THR bushings are compared to the factory off-set bushings.

                          That picture was from a while ago, I just thought I posted it here already.

                          The offset of the Treehouse is the same as the M3 geometry offset. And I've never seen or touched a stock centered bushing, so I wouldn't know, sorry. One of my RTRS delrin m3-offset bushings got shot somehow, so that is the big one, and the Treehouse were a great deal for replacement and an upgrade in fact from the RTRS items.

                            No worries.

                            This morning I was able to compare a THR bushing and a stock, centered bushing (an M3 bushing wasn't available). It appeared as though there would be even greater off-set than an M3 bushing, but I wanted to be able to compare them to make sure.

                              I already did that :)

                                Can you explain what is the difference between those 2 bushings? Are they for the same thing?
