Just put my cab on the road with new powerflex eccentric bushes (and new arb link arms)and i cant believe the difference..so much more positive and the steering is much more responsive and has much more feel

Eccentric pushes the wheel foward in the arch, giving you more castor (i believe), hence the handling benefits. Concentric give you less, not sure why you'd want these?!

I could be wrong, but I thought concentric meant the hole was in the middle whilst eccentric meant the hole was offset?
So a std bush would be concentric and a camber correction bush would be eccentric.
Someone correct me if I AM wrong...please

Yea, I believe eccentric bushes will correct the camber when you have lowered your car.
All E30 has concentric bushes as standard except the M3 which uses eccentric.

there is a lot of burbling on here ...all the forums and the mags seem to have come to the conclusion that putting the m3 bushes on is an excelent mod...the question was original or powerflex?
