I would like to replace front suspension bushings with eccentric bushings. So I wonder, are they without holes unlike stock?

you can get a set of E30 M3 offset bushings...the powerflex bushings are urethane..they might make funny noises.

But yes, they are a solid mount...no holes.

I've got E30 M3 offsets on mine btw and f'in love em.

Yo,

with the offset bushings, which way did you put the hole? towards the outside, inside, top, or bottom?

there are arrows on the bushings and on the lolli-pop. i believe they point in opposite direction of each other. again, the arrows show the proper fitment.

I have these on my control arms, the m3 eccentric ones. Can recommend them thoroughly, no problems yet. ALthough i will point out, when pressing them in, the left bush goes on the right and the right bush goes on the left. If your pressing them in yourself youl realise what i mean when you do them! Good mod though people and a common problem that causes nasty steering/suspension niggles:

mounted to alloy arms:
