So both of these points are pointing back to getting DMSentra top hats to increase the travel. (Didn’t mean to jack your thread Vadim)

I have seen and heard of bad experiences with the eccentric bushing. 1. They can rotate and 2. The bearings are so tiny, they get a hurting put on them from stress loads. Probably fine on a DD but on a race car, no bueno.


1)they only people who have had them rotate is people who either stripped the bolts, or didnt use the lock washers. I had mine in for a while & with the original bolts (used 1 stipped thread) it did slip, but after replacing the bolts with a harderbolt, no slippage

Jon (Cavern) has been runnin them for a few years, & has not had 1 problem

2) there are no bearings in them you have your poly bushings, & a single steel axle that goes through the bushings.


the main issue with the superpro UCA's is that the poly is so soft, there is more flex then there is with GOOD OEM rubber.

No worries this is a suspension section afterall .

Top hats are a must, I stayed away for a while, had Teins s-tech front and back with coilover sleeves and it rode fine but was bouncy. Installed B&G's no coil over sleeves and flat top hats, man the car rides nicer then it did with softer Tein's!

Crap I hope they are not! If they are I just wasted $80 . Guess we'll see once they come in, might just have to use my modified ES's.

EDIT: I noticed you said, UCA, I got LCA ones which look much more stiffer.

That is because he bought ones that give you more + caster. + Caster good!

Hi Vadim, What's the idea behind those spacers? will them provide more caster? Don't they mess with the horizontal alignment between the front/back bushings? It looks like an easy nice solution
