As '96 said you have some decisions to make. Use bushings to fit how you want to use the car.
Solid bushings will make the suspension a little firmer. You may notice the feel, but it will keep the control arms from moving under cornering forces.
Offset bushings will add caster to the front. That is advertised to promote stability, but caster will also camber the wheels in the direction of steering. (think of extended forks on a bike as an extreme example) I used offset bushings as an autocross tweak.
Offset bushings are round on the outside, so they don't have to be installed horizontal. I installed mine angled up a little to add a little anti-dive.
I have Bilstein sports and like them.
Also while you're changing shocks, you can swap the strut bushings left to right. The offset in the strut bushings will give a little negative camber that way for free. ;-) |
