Thanks. Its been a year now, and he's doing great.

I'm definitely moving up to 8 kg/mm springs in a few weeks when I get some more spare time.

After some more driving time, I'm sure now that I can feel the difference between the solid metal Whiteline and the Duroball in terms of overall handling. I can't perceive any difference in cornering ability yet, but I can feel that the Duroball has some driveline bounce. Its obviously not as bad as stock, and again I feel its the tradeoff for better daily drivability.

I've never had solid so I'm not sure what you mean by driveline bounce - is it jarring? I felt no difference in nvh or road manners between the regular whiteline bushings & the superpro

We're talking about the same Whiteline bushing. I used the term solid metal because its all metal construction with no rubber or urethane to absorb vibration or transmit load.

Interesting that you didn't notice any difference between Whiteline and SuperPro. The Whiteline doesn't totally fill the gap and needs a spacer (several washers). Did you install washers, and if so, did you put them above or below the Whiteline bushing?

Whats the difference between DURO3441K and DURO3741K?

They both appear to be the same offset bushing...

Yeah, I had to open the installation manual to see that it was for the Evo 10.

I have to chime in again that I'm really happy with this part and how it pushed my wheel back forward after the caster plate pushed it backward lol. put it right back to where it was, added some caster, and no longer make contact with the rear of the tire well cover.

So gonna be installing this piece next weekend along with their RC kit and inner front bushings.

I read that either the whiteline or perrin piece you had to grind away part of the control arm or subframe. Is that still the case with this or is there enough play in the bearing to be able to bolt it up?
