Performance Gains / Why It Is Needed

Factory rubber bushes flex under load which changes alignment mid corner and under braking. Solid bushes keep the control arm located so camber and toe remain stable. You feel clearer steering feedback, reduced understeer, and more confidence during fast direction changes. Ideal for track days, autocross, and spirited road driving.
