Neither are offset. Just a difference in hardness of the polly. I've run both. Zerk fittings are one of the reasons for the choice as well.

Food for thought, with the ZHP lower control arms and if running any sort of camber plates I'm not certain the offset bushings will add much that you don't already get from the camber plates.

Running fixed camber plates and notched the towers and additional 5mm you can get up to -3° of camber depending on if pushed all the way in or out on the towers.

The offset bushings add more caster.

Correct. Camber and caster are two separate things. Caster is the steering axis "tilt" when viewed from the side.
