Bill -- Could you post a few pics of the top of the RS eccentric bolts? ...earlier in this thread it was mentioned they allow more adjustment, so I'm assuming they're offset more. Would like to see how much. thx!

Thr stock bushes are Shore 60A the RS are Shore 85A.

BTW I scored some RS rubber bushes for the front A-arms. Have to see how that works out.

That suspension sure will help you navigate the slippery slope.

I bought Mode, ERP is slightly cheaper. Both sold by Smart Racing. They all use the 14mm Bilstein nut on top as do JICs

Those look much more substantial than the JIC's camber plates. I Should've done this upgrade before I did the install, but to quote Arena993 in another thread " as of now I'm tired of spending money"

Started the dis-assembly
step 1 drop the rear suspension to replace the side-mounts, 4 bolts( and a few smaller ancillaries and shes down

The bushes on my rubber mounts were corroded to the al. sidemounts some effort was needed to pop them out.,

The new ones slide in easily

The parts from Smart Racing don't include intructions
They are not all the same, the front pair has larger holes than the rear pair, silvered ones go on top, black on the bottom, you will also need some large washers(like fender washers) for the bottom. I purchased some grade 8 plated, washers ~3mm thick, hopefully that will do it.

Separating the A arm ball joints was a bitc*
