Default Powerflex Front Lower Wishbone bush

Okay..
I'm confused, I'm going to replace my lower arm bushes, as i am replacing the arms too..
Ive been looking at Powerflex bushes, but what is the difference between "Eccentric Bush" and a normal one?
Is it something to do with the camber? Caster? or something
I have Camber Top mounts anyway so which ones would be best..
My head hurts

Eccentric increases caster. M3s use the eccentric version, the ti uses the centered one. It has to do with the design differences in all of the front end parts between the Ms and non-Ms.

Ahh i see thanks, someone i know recommended me to get them and he has an M3. going to get the centered ones, the standard bushes have so much play in them
