Any treehouse racing control arm bracket reviews?

[noid]

I have them and I honestly don't think they deserve the hyperbolic praise they get, in my opinion. At least not for 200 dollars. I was very underwhelmed after I went for a test drive after I installed them.
I could tell very, very, little difference, caster and wheel position in wheel housing aside, when I swapped from my solid centered RUBBER bushings. I have some very aggressive caster where I rub very easily on my fender liners/under panel when I turn in, and also rub the inside wall of my opposite tire simultaneously on my IE sway bar.

Since it has been a while that I've had them on, I may go back to a solid centered bushing, or an offset e30 M3 bushing. Maybe I will notice a difference then.

What side tires were you running?

Noid, you should be fine. I have lemforder arms and I installed mine with just my hands with no play and no issues.

[ZinnoBerrotEta]

Sorry, I run 15x7 Euroweaves with 205/55's.

Lowered?

I am trying to gauge if I am goign to have any issues with rubbing on stock weaves and 195/65/14 tires at stock ride height.

I feel like rubbing is something I couldn't live with, so its important for me to determine if ill be ok.

You are not going to rub. Toon is running 235/x/17 wheels/tires on AST coilovers and treehouse arms. There is more going on then just the TH-FCABS

Everyone liking them for street use?

Toon has AST? Didn't he used to have GC? His car is looking really nice now with those new shoes.

I daily drove every car that had them. Pull the trigger.....

No, he never had GC

Anyone that has the treehouse bushings and doesn't like them, I would be more than happy to trade my M3 offset bushings plus a bit of cash for them.

I already pulled the trigger :D

However as per this thread:

I am having doubts. 1.5" between the front wheel and the valance isnt much space to start with with stock non-m bushings. My two concerns are:

1. If having only 1.5" is normal with my stock setup
2. if 1.5" is enough space to accomodate the treehouse racing eyeballs

I would HATE to rub.

I love, love, love mine! Be warned though that they make the ride a bit harsh.

[burkey001]

+1 on the ride harshness for daily driving.
square edge bumps in the road are much more pronounced. this is to be expected when trading a nice big squishy rubber bush for a piece of delrin with no flex.

[lbreevesii]

i've got em, they're great. Easy to put on, much much much easier than those stupid powerflex offset cabs.

I don't have any scrubby issues, running 235/40/17's on apex arc8's. I do have IE camber plates.

[MrBurgundy]

Should I consider getting some camber plates before changing to these? I need to replace my bushing asap since the rubber is basically falling out of the housing...

Nope, should be no need
