    Damn that's cool. I have Treeehouse on my 85 and rubber M3 offsets came on my 318, both feel great in their own way but my only reference was the original bushings on my 85 so there is no real fair comparison. Wheels definitely rub the liner on the 318 though.

      Any more than 7-8 degrees of castor then you start having negitive effects.

          I'm in the hunt of restoring/improving steering feel of of my e30 with e36 rack, no ps, no fluid in the ps system.

          What is you conclusion after switching from centered to offset m3 cabs?
          Would e30 m3 cabs help me with improving in line stability and restoring overall crispiness of e30 steering?
          I've run both, and the solid-centered E36 M3 control arm bushings definitely give a more direct steering feel compared to the stock offset rubber bushings. Turn-in feels sharper, and there's less compliance in the front end
