Daizen steering rack bushing

Unfortunately I wont be riding this low I adjusted the height back up to around 2 finger gap all the way around.

I raised it back up bc I DD this car, and I dont have the patience to always avoid conditions that would put me at risk of loosing my front lip. I admit a 2 finger gap is conservative but it still looks great IMO. Just the right height for sporty manuevers without the risk of hitting stuff.
Current setup compared to stock suspension:
Night and Day.
A lot less rebound when going over dips in the road. Car does not feel as loose, I can hit turns and the car feels planted no swaying. I made a 180 turn today because I missed my turn going about 45-50mphs and the car felt planted. I even gased it when I made the turn to see if the rear would give out LOL. If you know my driving habits I drive my car like I stole it
Current setup compared to Tein CS v1 w/ TRD sways
In the past I had Tein CS v1, TRD sways, and another set of 20s.
I would rate the comparison similar to this setup. The daizen control arm bushings takes a lot swaying out of the equation as would TRD sways would.

Just installed new lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, and front Night Pager Roll Center Adapters (30mm). I raised the car back up and rolled that bad boy to the stearlership for alignment and am amazed on how much better it handles and feels. A significant amount of the noise I heard from my coilovers "seems" to be gone and it feel very substantial on the road.
Now if I can just get up the nerve to install those rears. :-/

I may have to consider FIGS rear LCAs for unlimited camber correction if I ever decide to go tucked.
