    Idk, I had 9mm offsets and I had vibration issues. Granted it's an old driveline but you are essentially changing the angle of the driveshaft and rear end.

      PLEASE! Stop using offset diff bushings

      Your changing the driveshaft angle the same amount you offset the sub frame.

      Either use washers or a spacers, unbolt the diff and space it back down the difference you spaced up the subframe. This will allow you to use a regular diff mount bushing and keep your driveline angle proper.

        for those interested, with the 15* sweep of stock semi trailing arm setup, 12mm subframe risers will correct 0.423* of negative camber

              this may sound dumb but i bought urethane bushings for my honda years ago and they had red or black. Energy suspension said the black ones were self lubricating and the red ones were not. and the red ones would squeek if not lubed super good. And I guess my question is, is it still like this?? Will these be squeaky?

                Not dumb at all. Polyurethane does need to be lubed. We include packets of teflon lube with the bushings we sell. As long as you use the supplied lube you will not have any squeaks.

                The color of the polyurethane does not matter. We add the color when we process it. We chose to use red for 95A and blue for 80A. This is solely to distinguish between the two different types of hardness. Also, every company uses different polyurethane formulas from different chemical manufacturers and the specifics are a trade secret so there is no way of telling exactly what the other guys are using. Energy suspension's black bushings have some kind of graphite compound in the mix which reduces squeaking but lowers the durability of the bushing at the same time.

                          So if they don't squeak with the lube, will they squeak after a while? Will it all need to be taken apart and re-lubed?

                            Not usually. Every situation is different, so I can't guarantee anything, but usually, if you use the lube during installation, you wont have any squeaky issues down the road.

                              i installed a camber correction kit that uses eccentric cams to move the trailing arm bushings to try and correct my camber problem. still got a problem. guess 1.25 degrees of correction is not enough. hoping that this kit will help

                              hmm so .4 degrees of camber correction from the 12mm sub-frame bushings? i don't know if all this added together will completely fix the problem
