I have them and I love them. Watch out with the caster though, since they push the wheels even further than the M3 CABs. My car ended up with 10 deg of caster, and the rear of the valence needed persuading.
A good friend of mine is the lead mechanic down at treehouse (now bimmers usa) and I got to drive his '88 stroker before and after he installed a set and the difference is amazing!! I have E36 m3 bushings on mine and I cant wait to have the cash to pick up a set. deffinitly a great buy

Shouldn't be a problem with stock weaves and stock sized tires?

They are awesome for handling, but I am running into the problem mention above. I am not sure where exactly it is rubbing, but it is.

For reference.
How much better are Treehouse brackets over AKG race offset CABs? Is the extra caster noticeable?
AKG ones are poop, I would never buy those. The THR ones are a fixed position bushing. And 10 degrees is not bad at all, I fixed it with the GC race plates I am running. Granted they are a bit annoying to get in place, I use a rubber hammer to pop them in.
Ehh, I already have AKG's so I'm sticking with those. They feel pretty damn stiff to me, but I'm sure that the Treehouses would be better. Whatever, it's just a vert.
The first car I ever rode in was an e30

I put new lemforder control arms on a couple months ago, and recall the 'stub' of the control arm that the bushing goes over to have spiral groves into it rather then being smooth. I hope this wont effect the treehouse eyeballs?

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.
