    Anyways, it would be great to get your feedback and some more input from you Eddy as you are the only one who has done this on the Polo / Cupra that I've seen.

    Has it added any noise? Would you happen to know if the K-Mac's would work?
    Hoyhoy.

    No extra noise, I decided at the time that K-Macs weren't what I wanted.
    Hooroo.

    With the Kmac's there is cutting involved too
    Hoyhoy.

    I think you'll find that there will be cutting with any adjustable camber set-up.
    All ya have to do is cover it up.

    Hello friends...

    For those who tried the eccentric bushes, what where the results when driving? Which is the best choice, Anti-lift or caster?
    When cornering did you felt less understeer?

    I've got the SuperPro eccentric ones in mine.

    Very firm, bloody noisy and squeaky though!

    The extra turn-in is a nice improvement without being silly. Mine is a street duty car which sees many miles.

    NOTE: I have only done springs and dampers in my car. I have no rear swaybar.
    Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

    I guess you mounted it taking advantage on caster.

    Did you tried the White Line or any other similar? Just to make a comparison.

    I´m having this problem with the lower control arm in my car. I´m using White Line.

    Pay attention on the front wheels, when braking, the bushings are yielding so probably when making turns the bushings are not holding as well.

    The added caster will pull the wheel forwards a bit, but it may be time for some tubular arms with rose joints!

    I´m trying to add more caster and camber with a tune on the lower control arm.
    The idea is to adjust the ball joint, pull it 10mm out and push it 10mm to the front.
