    Replacement of CAB's

    My current set up is

    I need to replace my CAB's, they are a bit torn and extremely worn. I have read something about the m3 offset bushings, were not really worth it. What would you guys recommend?

    -M3 offset
    -OEM replacement
    -Solid PU

    Thanks

    E30 M3 are by far the best bang for your buck.

        I agree. Use the M3 offset bushings on a street car or offset delrin bushings on a track car.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            Buy the treehouse racing Lolipops. They will last a long time and don't effect your ride.

              The OEM BMW M3 offset bushing pair should run you about $45-$50. I'm sure blunttech can take care of you.

                I just replaced my m3 cabs with new oems. What a difference. Steering still sharp, but much less noise from bumps.

                And whoever above said THR lollipops dont affect ride, bullshit. I had them and they are the harshest bushing you can go with. I dont miss them one bit. Im pretty sure they banged some of my body welds loose also. Completely unecessary.

                  Also, for those wondering - the e36 m3 ones are the same as the e30 m3 ones and are only $23.

                  Looking out for those on that broke-swag.

                        that is a normal bushing, NOT AN OFFSET BUSHING... no point to buying it.
