    Which Bushings?

    Alright guys, I'm about to do a suspension refresh on my daily driver and I could use some guidance on which bushings to order. I have searched and have learned a lot, however I haven't really found a definite answer for my questions. Anyway...

    I will be running bilstein sports with FK 60/40 springs. For my rear subframe I know I want Poly bushings, would it be beneficial to order the AKG bushings "with Aluminum Sleeves and Reinforcement Plates To raise the subframe 9 mm to adjust for extreme negative camber"? I dont want my tires to wear quickly because I have too much negative camber. Will the FK's even give me "extreme negative camber"?

    I'm also not sure what RTAB's to order. Should I get eccentric bushings? I still haven't decided if I want OEM or Poly on these.

    Many thanks, any help/advice/opinions will be greatly appreciated!

    First off, screw the eccentric's and get a weld in camber and toe kit. Much more reliable.



    Get that and you won't have to mess with bushing's that raise your sub-frame. Personally I wouldn't want to screw with my drive-shaft angle. Basically get the weld in, and regular 75D RTAB's and the regular 80A subframe bushings for street use.

      thanks for the reply

      Are the weld on adjusters totally necessary for a 40mm drop in the rear? I don't really have the resources to go that route.

      That being said, what is my next best alternative? Are the offset subframe bushings and eccentric RTAB's a bad idea?

        I cant' speak to the subframe bushings but I know for a fact the eccentric RTAB's suck. They don't stay adjusted.

        How miles on your car? If I were you I would just get rubber bushings and try and swing the weld in kit. You can get the kit for cheaper if you find your own nut's and bolts
