    You've asked this question in a number of threads over the last few days, you don't seem to like the answer you are getting. It changes the dynamic toe from les flex but does not change the static toe as its just a harder bush.

    Yes, this was the 3rd time I've asked the same question in 2 threads because I have not had an answer until your partial one just then.

    It still doesn't answer the 2nd question because you haven't read the clarification that I posted in the other thread. Just for completeness, I will post in here as well to further pollute this thread

    What I meant was that FWD cars often run a small amount of static toe out so that when the front wheels are driving, they pull the outers of the front suspension arms forward and the resulting moment causes loaded toe becomes neutral or slightly toed in. Under heavy braking, the front wheels push the outers of the front suspension arms backwards so the resulting moment causes the toe out to be increased leading to instability (darting around) and destruction of the insides of the tyres (see the chunking of the OEM tyres from my 1st track day).

    I was hoping that the reduced flex of the Cupra bushes would improve the braking stability as toe out under braking would be reduced by
    1. requiring less static toe out to counteract the tendency to toe in under power
    2. reducing the toe out added by the braking moment


    Is this likely with the Cupra bushes?
