Looking at the other pics I can see better now that it does have a hole/mounting point so all sway bars should work with them. But my questions still stands for the rear bushing.

I'm back at work in Antarctica for the season. If you need anything I am selling or a step-down harness please be patient as we do not get access to the internet often.

If you’re curious about the field camp I'm at this year Google "Pine Island Glacier" or check out the weather cams we have set up there (Cam A & Cam B). Yes, I know its nothing but snow and flat white, welcome to my world...

Not really sure about what your asking as far as the rear bushing is concerned. Maybe you can elaborate on this a bit

Some people may have upgraded to a whiteline rear bushing (the big "U" shaped one) already and may wish to keep that. Unlike my worn out factory rear bushings which needed to be retired.

Mark, send me a pair. i'll test it a Sebring in three weeks. Can't get a better test bed or location. If they survive the higher spring rates and the rough track of Sebring. We will know.

Remember the control arm will undergo the largest force under breaking.

I think he is talking about the offset bushing available from Whiteline.

I think what we really want to know is how much caster is implemented into the arm.

No caster, I think you meant camber. If your talking about camber then you can run about an additional 1" of movement. I have not calculated it out but it should be around 3-5 degrees.

No I mean caster. You didn't put any caster above stock in these arms then?

Seesh.
