Was chatting to the guy with the drift car in the unit next door and mentioned that I'll be getting my coilovers fitted soon.

And he said he's got a set of Super Pro caster adjustable bushes laying about somewhere.

I think these are the ones he means...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-IS200-Su..._500wt_923

[Image: %24(KGrHqYOKj4E6dpKZtupBOw3+TTj8w~~60_1.JPG]

He said he'll do me a good price if I want them cos I help him out with bits for his car every now and then.

His reasoning for fitting them was:

1. It will give the car caster adjustment, which it doesn't have as standard.

2. Faster steering return rate (useful for drifting I guess, not that I will be)

3. Can reduce steering wheel shake/judder from the front wheels when braking hard.

4. The stock ones are probably shagged anyway. lol

So...thoughts guys?

A couple of my drifter friends complain about poly bushes wearing out faster but this is on their dedicated drift cars that run on the limit more often than yours will I'd imagine.

They squeak like a mother ******. I've got some superpro polybushes on the rear of mine and it's the only regret I have with the car.

Apart from the bum dents?

no regrets on the bum dents, I have some good memories to go with them and that is infinitely more important than paint and metal.

I personally wouldn't poly bush, Did it on my old car and they make the ride really hard and jary, really regret putting them on especially the dent in my wallet although I noticed no difference at all and my bushes were really past there life.

Although they helped alot on the arb front and rear, only difference I felt, did them in sections so arb's first that's what got me into them but never felt anything after it though apart from ruining the ride
