Is anyone using them?

or in poly:

A search revealed mostly discussions about offset bushings to compensate for lowering; understood. My question is about materials. Are the MMST-3 going to be too harsh around town?

I've got the aluminum rack bushings.

MM suggests using center-drilled bushings, due to the slightly shortened design (I think?). If you lower your car, these bushings will relocate the rack to the correct position which will eliminate bumpsteer and other common adverse stuff. I know a lot of other companies sell all kinds of anti-bumpsteer stuff, but I'd rather go this simpler route. It plain works for cheap and the quality is exceptional.

My experience:

I've got H&R springs (about 1.4 inch drop on all corners), C/C plates, and those aluminum bushings. These essentially get my car lowered, ensure a good alignment can be had, and eliminate bumpsteer. I absolutely love my car over harsh or uneven roads. No jolting, plus the car just soaks up the bumps. As the speed increases, the ride gets even better. Gotta get an alignment at a reputable shop, because a good one really makes a spring/shock/strut setup shine.

My stang is a daily driver.
