Lollipop question

Post by Kamuela » Fri Aug 18, 2017 5:30 am

There's a guy on another forum selling FCBs pre pressed, which is dandy, but he also offers them with the M part, asserting that the offset M bushing ncreases castor on non-M's and is a good thing. I understand that more castor should increase straight line stability, but I don't know enough about the M part, etc to decide if this is a good idea for me. Comments?

Not sure if they will fit your wishbones mate so best to check, if they do they will increase castor and also give a bit of extra negative camber too :)

I'd go for powerflex purples personally if they don't fit :thumbsup:

Get the M version, quite a noticeable improvement in steering feel and mid corner grip as the extra castor gives more dynamic negative camber. Ideally I'd get a poly version but to be fair it's dead easy if you're swapping bushes already fitted to the outer metal shell so not a big deal to change again in 30,000 miles or whatever.
