    Why non reversible? Which OEM part is modified?

    Any downsides to this? Turn in? Suspension travel?

    The factory bushes are oil filled and when pressed out, rupture and are no longer reusable.

    Downsides - Slightly firmer bush than standard, may transmit some vibes. Not an issue for those who drive their cars for the intended purposes

    *looks to people who think the MPS is a mode of transport, not a fun car*

    It doesn't change camber, only castor if setup that way.

    I had them setup with no castor adjustment, I ran full anti-lift setup.

    I will be getting these soon, as my suspension is going a full overhaul (caster bushes, bilsteins, eibachs, rear camber arms). There are different levels of caster bushes, either anti-lift, full caster and I assume in-between?

    I've been reading on caster and the end summary is that it improves turn-in, but you get lose steering response from neutral position.

    I suppose the question is which one do you get. Can you explain a bit more? Also do you do installations Troy, it'll be the whole shebang as mentioned above however.

    They can be setup as castor or anti lift.
    Anti lift is exactly what you want. It reduces "tramp" aswell.
    You can setup with a compromise of both. A little from column "A" and a little from column "B"

    Castor improves turn in, but increases the desire for the car to want to drive straight. It requires more effort to turn. On a power steering assisted car, you won't notice it.

    I no longer fit many of these items, but, I can organise a very good price for fitting all these items for you.
