Yep, they’re sealed pillow ball bushings. Traction bar arm is standard rubber, softer than toe control arm though. Same with upper arm which is still rubber but harder.

Correct, for what I know you can only buy the entire Oem arm or go for aftermarket, hardrace makes oem lenght joints but at this point I’d go for the corrected roll center version.

You may also consider to keep it stock plus adding a pair of adjustable bars, it will be soft on squat and dive but at least you’ll have more roll resistance plus you can fine tune balance. Also, a...

They cannot be revalved officially, while CS can.

That is cause when you raise the rear roll center you also add anti squat geometry, combine them and that’s why your rear end feels looser.

I still love my Oem 2017 Base dampers, how many points for sway bars and camber plates? IMO those dampers with a decent camber and a big front bar work really well plus they’ll be easy on tires.

For reference, stock ride height for 2017+ cars with showa base dampers is 155-160, PP Sachs is 150-155.

Older cars should be a little higher but I’m not sure.

For sure but it’s easy and you could find a compromise between a better ride quality and still soaking up the bigger potholes. Aren’t Oem bumpstops fairly progressive though?
