- Do any of you racers have any experience with offset upper (trunnion), lower (A-Arm), or both bushings- My MKII will be running against 1275's, and I'll need all of the handling help I can get . will

- I run the offset top bushings on my car with the 520 lb. springs and it handles great. I was advised against the lower offset bushings by Rob at Winners Circle. He said you can get "real messed up"

- I have the offset upper bushings and with stock springs still had positive camber. I have since lowered the car 1" and I don't think I have much negative camber if at all. I am using polyurethane lo

- I've got about 300 miles on the car since I installed the bushings (mostly autocross which really abuses the tires) so I could not tell you accurately how the tire wear is. 3 deg is very excessive f

- It depends which tyres you run. If you run Hoosier Street TDs, then about 0.5 - 1 degree of neg camber is optimal with a lowered stiffer sprite. If you run A008RS then 5 is close to optimal. Mike han

- With too much neg camber on the street, you prematurely wear the inside of the tyre. Around 2 degrees (neg camber) seems a pretty good compromise for road radials on the street. Mike --Original Messa

- Good question! Unfortunately the only source of information that I've found reliable are the tyre tech guys who hang out at racetracks. I get a starting setup from them and then finetune with a pyrom
