Damn, I'm gonna have to give this a try.

It shouldn't affect ride height at all, btw. Ride height is set with the spring height between the spring perches and this won't change that. It just changes the "static" angle of the beam axle assembly, presumably to a more favorable angle for a lowered car.

Basically, it should make whatever effects are designed into the movement of the beam axle (anti-squat, dynamic toe, etc) that are optimized to work at stock ride height... be more optimal for a car that's lowered. It's got to be a good thing.

Exactly. I will do this this mod this week. Seriously, i'm very happy to talk to you about this mod and it work just... great!!! I wish to test it the next summer at lapping day! Just one thing. Before torque you axle beam bolt at your pivot, just swing your car 2 to 3 time juste for set your bushing. After, torque the bolt, car not jacked. If not, your bushing work hard!

This is the toyota procedure ;)
