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 rear sway bar
GTSPEC front, mid, rear chassis bracing
Ultra racing front strut brace

How do you like your tires I am looking to buy the same ones and size in a few weeks. I been looking to do these bushings I notice my caster is off last time I did my alignment so if I'm going to replace worn put using might as well upgrade them at the same time

I do have Whiteline control arm bushings ... and my only problem is when I drop in a pothole and bump (you get to believe by the sound that you damaged your car (with the time you get use to it). Beside that they are wonderful.

LOl probally one of the main reasons oem is rubber.
