Still waiting for RE to ship the RTAB's. Ordered at the same time? No correspondence from RE?

I've found a third supplier of offset bushings beside the previously found superflex and bavarian auto/whiteline offset bushings.
http://www.nolathane.com.au/ They're maybe affiliated with whiteline? (both australian and some drawings are in the same style) Edit: they're based at the same address..... Strangely they (nolathane) have 2 variants of the 66mm offset bushings: http://www.nolathane.com.au/product_...t_number=45553 http://www.nolathane.com.au/product_...t_number=45555 the 45555 have "LH offset - RH standard alignment" whatever that means.... (a lefthand offset bushing and righthand non offset?!? does that work?!? )

Am I to understand that the Superflex bushings are easier to install given the multi-piece design? If I have to make special tools to bolt in the lollipop, I may not be interested in this as a DIY job.
Thanks in advance! |

If you want easy, just get OE with bush and lollipop complete Anything else you will also have to press out the old bush from the lollipop before pressing in a new one.

I was referring to Shipkiller's post above. He seemed to be implying that the 2-piece units might be easier to reinstall. I figured I would get a machine shop to press out the old bushings and press in the new ones. I just didn't want to get everything back together and find out that I couldn't bolt the lollipop back onto the car without fabricating tools. I have 50K miles on the M Coupe, and I'm trying to figure out how far I want to go with a suspension refresh. My FCABs actually look fine, but while I'm in there doing struts... |

If you are using stock FCABs, the you should have no issues getting them back on.
If you look closely at the pictures, I am not using anything near stock, so they are really, really stiff, and I had a hell of a time getting the bolt holes to line up. The 'Whiteline's' I used are stiffer than the Superflex or Powerflex FCABs. |
