Uhh, honestly, can't tell any difference. BUT! Two things! Firstly, the original bushes were absolutely mint. No cracks, very good conditon and tight. And secondly, I haven't driven the car yet. And I only drove the car for about 2 hours total since having a Starlet. So have had the car 6 months, and in six months, have driven it 2 hours. Lmao. I'm getting right into a true Starlet own, having it off the road more than it is on. Sad times Be nice to drive it one day, just got to build it haha! Lmao. Umm, but that said. Does feel nice, bought a weighted D1 Spec carbon fibre knob and that's lovely. I have played with it on the drive. And it feels all good. But haven't yet driven the car. Will update in 6 months time when I drive the car for the first time haha!
