I have read that the M3 lower control arm bushings (lollipops) will reduce tramlining - the tendency to follow the ruts in the road. I would love to hear from someone that has installed these busings - did it reduce tramlining? what suspension alignment settings were used? any other front end suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I've done this as well. The '95 offset M3 LCA bushes help to increase caster angle. This helps reduce tramline effect. Couple them with '95 M3 Upper Strut Bearings, and I have a great tracking car with 17" M3 alloys, Bilstein Sports & H&R Sports.
The later M3 LCA bushes are not offset, but are solid rubber, so they improve turn in response, but do not help tramlining.
