Rear Camber Arm + Trailing Arm Bush

[dsp26]

Got mine in... heres my review:

Labour: $200

Observations + limitations
- the rear is noticable stiffer... so much so that i my rear shocks are now set to the lowest damp setting
- turn in is very predictable and has somewhat reduced rear bodyroll and i am able to make turns more comfortably and confidently... the same feeling you get from awesome bucket seats hugging you
- the un-predictable nature others were talking about seem to me like an issue with the tires now
- the car oversteers / loses rear traction an unpredictable amount WHEN it does on dry road, it suddenly snaps... so much a difference that it will take me a while to adjust to it
- above issue is not as noticable in the wet, the oversteer is a more controlable, its the fact that on dry road decent tires (toyo proxes 4 in my rears) grip well but because it is pushed beyond the limits of the tires it will snap out... like when you put your entire weight against a solid wall but it suddenly crumbles and you didn't expect it to happen coz of the resistance it had seconds earlier... get my drift?
- to me this is the exact same effect as upgrading stiffer sussy and better brakes at the front... the tires become the weak point when sussy doesn't damp enough and absorb forward inertia as result of beefy brakes... i imagine that further benefits of solid RTA bushes can only be realised with superior tires

But of course this is all common sense right?


Keep in mind this is an observation my current sussy setup plus the fact that my old ones were completely torn and kept in place with sikaflex that eventually tore due to the amount of flex and dirt the RTA is susceptible to
