Got them fitted on mine, i've gone about 5º off centre (hole turned towards the outside of the car) which isn't a huge amount but it does make the car feel more stable in the bends. It's on eibach pro kit springs & i've also got eibach pro spacers (20mm front, 25mm rear) so she handles like a dream. Been looking at the steeda rear roll bar but not sure i want to drill the axle (the powerflex rear axle bushes do a good job of reducing roll)

They all make a huge difference to the handling! The caster bushes have a useable 180º adjustment but anything past 5-10º is a bit much (and after 90º the wheelbase gets shorter so more nimble but less stable). I bought a pair of aftermarket wishbones off ebay and used a press to change the bushes, unless you have an acetylene torch to heat them up they're a very tight fit, any good garage should be able to change them in an hour or so though

You seem to be missing the ARB bushes mate? Incredible prices though :)

Nice one :) How long do these take for delivery? Couldn't find anyone who could get hold of them in under a week, even Demon Tweeks :/
