BBB - take a look at this post of mine regarding new Billies/Springs vs old KYB setup..

viewtopic.php?f=45&t=18467

Shav - I agree, I'm very happy with how it sits front and rear. Wouldn't want to change it at all. The Jspeed bushings have a number of different shims included which allow you to adjust the geometry of the front end somewhat when installing. I have the large shims below the bushings and the thin ones above which is the most 'aggressive' set up you can use with them. I'm not sure exactly how much the camber and toe is changed though. The thread below from Garage 88 (formally 'Phat') will give you everything you need to know about the Jspeeds bushes.

Turn in and exit out is certainly a little more precise and stable, and body roll is reduced, however I'm sure those aspects would be improved further with sways. ;)

That's great to hear Mick. Thanks for the link too. I'll do some further reading of these bushes to get my self familiar with attributes. Sounds like you have got the near perfect setup for street. This is what I'd like to achieve later on.
