Performance Gains / Why It’s Needed

OEM rubber bushes are soft and allow flex during heavy braking and hard cornering, causing toe changes, understeer, and vague steering feel. The Suspension Secrets solid bushes remove this flex, improving front-end precision, chassis stability, and tire contact. The result is sharper corner entry, reduced body roll, and a more engaging driving experience on both road and track.
