    If you're talking about the lolipop bracket for the control arm bushing there is no reason to replace it.

    Thanks Matt.
    I won't replace the lolipop brackets.

    Are condor speed shop offset cabs a good idea? Or just oem all the way. The poly would be more responsive and hold up longer correct? It's only another $30 for the condor bushings.

    Going to place an order very soon.

            No

            Not when poly all around is much too harsh for daily driving. And the squeaks
            Oh gawd the squeaks..

                I like the poly for the the trailing arms and subframe but for control arms I always go OEM M3.

                  I did OEM rubber all around. The one downside to rubber is it is much harder to press bushings yourself if you don't have a press. Poly you can do by yourself easy.

                    Poly CAB are pretty harsh for street driving, I run OEM m3 offset CAB.

                          I built you the wrong engine for doing that.

                          *note from an old guy*
                          never race your DD. you will hate that you cant get to work then you break it at the track.

                            Lol I kno Eric. It's mostly a joke unless it's raining and I go to my favorite warehouse drift spot.

                            Once I'm on the other side of making this car the way I really want it I might consider a swap tho.

                              why not get a salvage chassis for cheap, part it out and swap and track that?

                                Mostly because I want it to be street legal, I don't have a tow rig or room for one, that and I don't have a trailer or room either, and to add on top of all that I only want one car on my insurance policy.
