    offset control arm bushings?

    I'm need new CABs and was wondering what the pros and cons of the offset bushings are.

    My car is lowered with eibachs, bille sports are next after I sort out the front end.

    handling is my primary concern, and I'll be doing hard mountain driving, and hopefully some autoX this summer.

    also my DD

          You *might* rub on the fender dirt shield if it's loose, with big tires, at full lock. Not really a downside but that is a chance.

              I will be moving back to UT soon, I will join you for said mountain excursions




              I have the offset bushings H&R sports, drop hats, and b.caps w/ 65 series tires. The tires do rub slightly on the plastic fender shields but only at high steering angles. I expect that going down to 60 series tires will eliminate that
