FEBI eccentric TA bushings?

[funcrew]

Has anybody used the FEBI eccentric trailing arm bushings to correct the typical rear toe-out you get when an E30 is lowered? [Edit: No toe-out, my bad]

If so, how do you get align them and get them to not shift once they are adjusted?

I'm not sure how they work, but FUCK I wish I had known these existed 3 months ago. That's a much, much less expensive option that OE bushings + IE camber/toe kit. Like, $100 less expensive. If they are made by Bilstein like it says, they are probably very good quality.

Aren’t the eccentric TA bushings prone to getting misaligned easily, or am I wrong on that?

I used two sets. One for camber and one for toe. Installed them, took the car to the alignment shop and they managed to get the toe back into spec and got the camber equal at -1.9 degrees. I'm also curious to know if they will move over time.

Yep. All febi products are in fact made by bilstien.

E30s toe in when lowered, not out. that would be really shitty suspension if they did. :p

Which shop?

edit: My bullshit removed; nando is correct.

Damn, I am going to need a set of those to fix my toe-out before I ruin my $$$$ new tires. I only got a set for the camber since the IE kit was so damn expensive

Anybody else on FEBI bushings? This would be a great find for those of us that don't weld IF the position doesn't drift. Post up your experience with these.

[Schniddy]

I would also like to confirm this. I do remember reading in the past that they arn't so great compared to the weld in kits though..

The lonk to the fabis didn't work but i have a set of essentrics that I am going to install next week.

As always, I reserve the right to be proven wrong, but here goes:

Sadly, the E30 rear suspension does toe OUT when lowered, and it is indeed, as you say

you are wrong. A lowered e30 toes IN when lowered. I guess you are looking at your car backwards?

also there isn't one drive and 5 reverse gears :rofl:
