Default 2015+ Superpro Double offset vs Whiteline Anti-Lift bushings

Fellas,
I'm looking for advice on which front lower control arm bushing to get for a 2015 WRX in order to maximize front caster.

I'm considering the Whiteline Anti-lift bushing: https://subimods.com/collections/201...-2015-2019-wrx

And the superpro double offset bushing: https://subimods.com/collections/201...-2015-2019-sti

Do both add the same amount of caster? Any difference in durability or NVH? Do they both allow the same amount of suspension articulation?

Thanks!

Greetings,
Elastomer is better than polyurethane from a durability standpoint. Better is cold weather too. The Whiteline kit is also more adjustable.

Get the Whiteline.

Does the whiteline have more articulation than the superpro? It looks like it has a spherical bearing held in place with, as you said, elastomer.

I have seen the Superpro version for the 11-14 STI arms, which is almost the same except the passthrough is slightly shorter. I also have the WL version in hand. Both are bearings held in elastomer. The WL version is sealed (based on my memory) versus the Superpro. It's not that the Superpro isn't sealed but it's design would allow contaminates to enter more easily. Overall, I would say that the WL version is better designed and allows much more adjustment with the various spacers and spacer placement.

I would not worry too much about articulation unless you're lifted.
