[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16412676, member: 117234"] The shifting of the control arms forward with the Global west bushings in minimal and doesn't really help shift the weight of the engine back much. Honestly I'd be shocked if the weight distribution was changed by 0.5%. The real benefits come in that they act more like bearings and remove all of the bind that is caused by the stock rubber bushings. The other big benefit is that they allow you to run more caster which is something that these cars love. Increasing caster will also increase the camber gain of the tire being loaded in a corner. After going through two sets of poly bushings (Energy & Steeda) and then switching to the global west bushings I have NO idea why anyone would ever want to run poly. Honestly I ended up running poly because MM tech support scared me away from them, probably the one time I should have NOT listened to them. But it sounds like the OP is a little overwhelmed with just CC plates and ball joints and I don't see him tackling something like this right now. OP if you go down this road with the global west bushings I can help you with some tips on install. Honestly the hard part is getting the old crap out of the control arm. [/QUOTE]
