Default MTM decentered rubber bearings for the inner upper wishbones, anyone has them?

I once contacted MTM and they told me about this product:

"Further we designed decentered rubber bearings for the inner upper wishbones to increase the front axle chamber to about 2,5 to 3,0 degrees. This improves the handling and makes you car feel about 300 kg lighter."

Has anyone ever used one of these? What are the impressions? Any reliability issues?

Default Thats not a fair statement....

Sure adjustability is nice, but some of us would like a "no-clunk" go-between solution. The KMACs/MTM are kind of a kludgey solution but fill a niche.

Then do it! The board could always use more information for the archives, not arrogance.
