Hey guys, just wanted to tell everyone about a great upgrade for handling!
I installed Whiteline synthetic elastomer control arm bushings and I have to say wow! The car feels much more planted through turns, especially mid-corner. It also seems it reduced a good amount of under-steer during initial throttle application, I am not sure if that is because of a reduction in front end compliance though. Be aware that you will have issues installing these if you have a sub-frame brace, due to these bushings being much less compliant; also always perform an alignment after any suspension work. Bumps are a little more noticeable, but not bad. All in all a very good modification.
Supporting mods.
TRD suspension kit
TRD rear sway bar
GTSPEC front, mid, rear chassis bracing
Ultra racing front strut brace
Team dynamics 15x6.5" et +38mm Monza R wheels
