    Installing M3 CA bushing

    I ordered them last night and was wondering which was is the best way to put the offset. I'm guessing towards the inside to give you more toe out, and better high speed stability, but i'm not sure.

    You want the holes on the outside of the car. This will push the wheel forward more and give you more caster.

    And you'll want to get an alignment afterwards, because this will affect your toe as well.

        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

          These are ment for increased caster, not toe out. Toe out sucks unless you are an autox hero and know what you are doing. Otherwise, when you are finished with the install, go get toe-set (alignment) and have it set to 1/16 in.

          HTH,

            Reshape your plastic wheel liners with a heat gun and all will be good. it's what i did and the wheels only scrub at full lock.

            or take out your wheel liners if you live in a dry climate.
