    It allows the bushing to have less pressure on it (especially lowered cars), alignment should be as close to stock as they can get it, and offset bushings help with this, especially if you don't have the pricey adjustable camber plates.

    I'm not a fan on poly suspension on a DD. A dd should be comfortable and quiet, I would go with this route IMO.

    I wonder if it will work with regular old non-M/non-ZHP E46 control arms? I think it would since ZHP and non ZHP CAB's are the same..

    Should. Only difference between ZHP and non ZHP control arms is the inner ball joint (or maybe it was outer?) -- the wishbones themselves are the same

    Also you can get the bushings pre-pressed in the housings too:

    31107836863

    Might be best to go that route since pressing out the hydraulic bushing is a bit of a pain

    I remember a Technician saying the M3 and the Z4M bushings were offset. Do you know how much caster is changed from the original ZHP setup?

    I would think an alignment would be needed before and after to show the caster changes. I don't think anyone has done so yet..

    Pre-pressed into new brackets or just the naked bushings?

    M3 bushings are centered. But I think our control arms give a similar effect as an offset bushing
