    installed mine today....quick and easy swap. should of fixed my caster problem too since my bushings were shot. steering feels a lot more direct and i can feel the road a bit more. i can hear it more too...not such if it's a good thing. but overall...very good product.

      Thr "eyeball Arms"

      I have had these on my car for about three months and all I can say is DDDDAAAAMMMMNNNN! Steering response is sweet! The guys at TREEHOUSE know how to put the drive in the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.

        One large thing is a miss in the entire post and product. The OE rubber bushings are made to have an effect on preload, as do the offset conrtol arm bushings. If you have replace OE bushings, or went to remove yours [if in good shape] you would of noticed that it was very difficult to turn them. They are designed to place a bit of preload on the suspension, that is why in the factory manual it suggests replaceing CA rubber bushings with the suspension free [hanging] and to place the bushings on with no lube or a mild water/soap mix.

        Popping is a result of binding, im not out to argue that, and yes sanding seems to be the solution, but this is a case of 'Well, it works well other places, where else can we put it?' In other words, the product was made to sell to people who are 'Hungry for my Urethane'

        I imagine the turn in is great, the effects are as desired, but they neglect to follow the design of the OE part.

            I have had mine for about four months. I have never heard/felt any popping and i did sand my control arms before my install. They make a big diff in overal feel, i highly recemend them.

                I ordered mine 2 weeks ago, still waiting for them to ship to me.
                I was getting a shutter under braking as my bakes are way too powerful for the stock M3 bushings (I have E36 M3 front brakes). I can't wait to install them when they get here...

                      ive had mine for about a month now... car feels much more solid...


                      no popping, i sanded mine with course, then fine paper, then course/fine steel wool.


                      car is *slightly* out of alignment....only notice it in high RPMS... feels badass though.

                        Ok don't flame me. Just need one simple response.

                        Sand the control arm where it slides onto correct?
