Are these still in development? I'm also wondering us daily drivers hitting an unavoidable pothole or something. These replace the Upper strut bearing assembly? So instead of the rubber absorbing some of the impact on rough terrain, that would all get trasmitted to the body? Just going Hmm, I like the idea.

Yes, there will be a ZERO option.
I'm somewhat confused by the 'zero' option. The control arm from the factory comes with a spherical bearing (aka pillow ball) installed in the position this product replaces.

The thread talks about the bushing being offset and how some classes do not allow for the offset bushings - I am guessing zero option is one WITHOUT offset. I could be wrong...

Someone asked for a picture of where this may go, I am guessing in position A below?



Perrin - As you can see, I am ready for your piece, I have everything else pressed in and ready to go, hate to have to throw it on the car and back off for this piece

Yes "A" is the correct one.

Yes "zero" means no offset.

I'm trying to get an exact date that we can ship the 1st batch. I'm confident it will be in March though.

I think I've figured it out - the guys at Perrin want us to take our cars apart to let the Wrx/Sti cars at the tracks kick our butt while we are waiting for these to come out. Sneaky move - I'm on to you Jeff

I always like their posts on Nasioc when I had my Sti - looking forward to them over here - even if it is with their X - ha.

C'mon, replacing a zero offset spherical bearing with a spherical bearing with zero offset makes perfect sense.

The factory bearing is surrounded by rubber. This bearing is surrounded by metal. I'm not positive, but I think the metal will have a little less flex than rubber.

So, I called Perrin today to get an update - Everyone was busy, so the lady who answered the phone gave me a "loose" update

It may be 2 weeks, it may be sooner, it may be later. I am waiting to throw my suspension on hoping Perrin will release this so I can do it now rather than take it all off again - seems like this will not happen. <sigh>
