I have always been wondering if it would be a good idea to fit compression struts, but still use a poly bush between the strut and tca. That way it would be stiffer than using the standard arb, but there is still some compliance in the suspension for road use. The nicest would be if you could swap the poly bushes for metal ones to have the stiff track version.
So the only major difference(as its related to geometry) in the 3 door hub is the axle centerline is higher up in relation to the balljoint. I can modify my crossmember move the tca mounting holes up to effectively accomplish the same change, for less money than getting 3 door hubs stateside
A compression strut setup allows me to alter caster and camber so I can tune more on center feel into the steering.
Currently the car just seems ready to change direction almost to the point of instability if you aren't used to it. The numb steering makes it worse.
I have powerflex bushings everywhere in the car currently in addition to the mods I posted earlier.
