    So I have a question about the Revshift polyurethane sub frame bushings. I see that they raise the sub frame, but whats the reasoning behind this? Is it because of the different material? I understand that the differential studs and spacers locate the diff in the stock location but why move the subframe in the first place? I want to replace all the bushings in the rear of my car, and would like to add some camber, if I went this route,will this affect that at all?

      The point of the raised sub frame is so that you have a closer to stock rear suspension geometry when your car is lowered.

        Awesome, that exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you!

        If I do not raise the sub frame, but lower the car, will my camber become more negative than if I were to raise the sub frame? .........Yes?

            Can these be used WITHOUT the 12mm spacer and otherwise stock geometry to just serve as a differential stud kit (as opposed to having to line up the bolts from the top)

              Yes, that would work just fine.
