Default Offset LCA bushings

I am looking to replace the LCA bushings on my 98 ti. My understanding is that 95 and earlier E30 M3 bushings will fit and are offset for more caster. Is this correct? I know there are A/M urethane and delrin bushings out there, but this is my DD, so I'd like to go with solid rubber. Suspension is stock except for Bilstein HD struts. Thanks!

Scott

Nothing? Is it a stupid question?

Usual upgrade would be e36 m3 or e46 bushings. Refreshing stock parts would be fine also, not much of a price difference. I do have an unused set of poly bushings already pressed in new lolipop brackets available to sell if you'd be interested . Sold my ti and have these leftover. Actually i have both styles available, lol

Thanks for the offer, mtlblue. I'm on a tight budget, so everything I do has to be on the cheap. I went ahead and got 95 m3 stock replacements. $30 for the pair on partsgeek. They're not only solid, but are also offset. I can feel the difference the extra caster makes, and it didn't throw my alignment off, either.
