Protane poly bushing kit
Gentlemen,
Like some of you know I've been up-grading my suspension with poly bushing. I installed the complete Energy kit on the suspension and since the sway-bar kit was B/O I've decided to try the Protane sway bars kits for Frt & Rr.
My concern is with the front kit, the sway bar bushing holes are off-set by a good 4 to 5mm compare to the OEM units, is this something that Protane did to change the swaybar position and at the same time alter the flex to improve the handling??? Or they only screw it up when they made them?
As for the Energy kit, no issues everything went in fine but that grease is a pain to use, sticky as hell!

Do you mean "Prothane"?
Post the part #'s that you've questions about maybe in the C4 General or Performance sections for a substantially larger "audience"!! Prothane has many applications and I don't believe there are simple responses unless you post part #'s of what you're interested in comparing and to what you want it compared to.
The bushings in both the bar and the control arm for the 88+ C4 are metal clad and I don't understand your "offset" comments! Can you post maybe snapshots for comparison?
I believe I have a set of Energy but it could be difficult to put my hands on them easily for comparison!! I'll try.

Thanks for the tech site tip!
