HI guys,

Are eccentric bushes for the front necessary on a track car, i already have poly standard ones, i also have eibach uprated arb's and gaz gold coilover kit.

If they do make a big difference could somebody possibly give me the bmw part no.?

Just looked into these myself. £21.56 + VAT from a main dealer.

31.12.9.061.222

From what I've read on here and other places they DO make a difference. I ran a fair bit of castor on my last track car - seems to give a better turn-in and a bit more stabillity under braking at the expence of a little more tramlining on the road.

I'd also be interested to hear any other opinions.
