    My latest suspension mod....

    I had these custom made with M3 Offset....
    machined based on the stock lollipop with the M3 Offset bush.... Using PU bushes

    Apparently my bushes are tighter than the TreeHouse Racing bushes as the measurement is taken from the stock rubber bushes... Steering response is livelier than the stock bushes, anyway, my stock bushes have been way past due... Ride is harsher now, can feel the road better including the road imperfections...

    Will let the PU bushes set in after a few more days...

    The lollipops



    Installed

                    I imagine shipping from malaysia would kill just about any deal you could set up.

                            Well if they are, and they are a hell of a lot cheaper, id buy a set. Shipping for something that small isnt bad, I have shit shipped from Adam in AUS all the time. Something that size would be like 12-20 from AUS.

                            Also check in one using delrin or another polymer that doesnt make as much sound if you are having them fabbed like that.

                              it's not the EXACT same thing as I made them based on the stock lollipop.
                              However, based on photo comparison, the PU insert I used is bigger outside diameter is 28mm while the inside diameter is 19mm.

                              How much is the tree house racing lollipops btw.??
