Need control arm bushings...what to go with?

[Grant]

Let me know what control arm bushings to go with. I hear good things about Treehouse Racing, but are there any others I should consider? Do the THR ones really make enough of a difference?

What's your objective for the car?

THR will give you too much caster on an ix. I already rub the fronts of the fender liners with M3 offset bushings, and THR pushes the wheels forward even more. plus, there's really no need for soild mounts on a street car, all you're really doing is wearing out your ball joints faster.

I would go with solid centered or M3 offset.

So you would go with M3 offset or either, b/c you have the M3s? What is the major difference going to be?

If you're a badass mother fucker like me, get the Treehouse CABs. If not, OE M3 bushings.

bavauto which is by far the best online dealer has them for $54.95.

I don't work for them, but because they're such a good vendor I try to help them out.

Did the E30 M3 ever come with non off-sets? For a daily driver would you get off-set or non?

Firstly, you're nuts if you think BavAuto is the best online dealer. I've dealt with many (including BavAuto), and BMA is definitely the best, ESPECIALLY when it comes to customer service (not to mention they'll pricematch anyone).
Secondly, you're going to want to look closer at the price of BavAutos bushings. They're $54.95 EACH = $109.90 per pair. Blackforest has them for $69 per PAIR (37% cheaper).
No, the M3 always had offset ones.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up.

what's the link for BMA?

They're an advertizer for this site... so you'll see their banner at the top every once in a while.

Patrick is a great guy to deal with.

keep in mind the ix has it's own bushings, it doesn't use the same ones from other E30s. I never looked at prices but I'd assume they are more than $24 a pair.
