Well understood before my comment was made - OWK's post just made me wonder
wonder why a product that works so well in one configuration had fitment and performance issues in another. It's common that products don't always adapt to different configurations, but I was curious as to why in this case. Not sure I've answered my own question technically, but if someone's got a ready answer I'd love to be educated. (the 4 door comment was a joke, btw ;-p)

Well, by teh looks of the product, they are replacement inner control arm bushings..
The inner bushings on the B5/C5 arms are not readily replaceable.. You can often do more harm than good by pressing out and in a new bushing...

I had them installed on my 4.2 after lowering with KW coilovers. At the time..
it was because the negative camber really affected the way the car handled in the snow and ice. The bonus was the reduction in tire wear and in tramlining issues.

then you probably wouldn't want to see how he got the old ones out either!
I actually thought it was kinda clever in a "necessity being the mother of invention" way, but no, I'd never try it.

They're the Variant 1. I got them thru a group buy for around $1150 I think.
The ride is harsh for sure. Sometimes I really regret the choice. Other times, on the right road, I love it. Between the KW's and the H-Sport sways it really handles fantastically. I've been meaning to track it but haven't yet for one reason or another.
