Guys

Im replacing the rear trail arm bushes on my 325. Looking at the ETK http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=33&fg=30 I need 2 sets of part no 9.

However it lists 2 different bushes - 1 eccentric 1 normal.

My question is do I buy a set of the eccentric bush and a set of the normal bush or do I buy 2 sets of the normal bush. Im assuming the eccentric bushes are for m3's??

actually just thinking about that - BMW dont sell/make lowering springs so why would they sell bushes for lowered cars??
