M3 Front Control Arm Bushing Set in iX

[barbierij]

Has anybody tried these in an iX? I have some spare control arms and I might put these on instead of using the stock ones.

The ECS website says they will work

Pelican has a set for $20.75, which sounds better to me than the iX ones at $15/each.

I've always used these. Very affordable and quite nice.

Whats the benefit of these?

i just put them in my IX , if you take the wheel and shake it side to side while watching the control arm in the stock bushing it will amaze you how much it moves (changes under load) the M3 are much stiffer and stop this from happening steering feels crisper at the risk of a little more tramlining but certainly worth doing if your in there to replace them already

The offsets?

Slightly stilffer, increased caster angle, slightly longer wheelbase. More stability.

I've always used the offset bushings but the centered ones would be a great choice for a stock suspension car.

I run offset on mine. Turn in is a little crisper, and it eliminates the steering shake you get with the stockers over small bumps.

awesome I'm going to buy them once I hit $75 at pelican.

Finally put them in. More rubber than the iX bushings. Sorry, no pics.
