Poly Bush recommendations

[Nova_Tek]

Right then, looking to do some homework on poly bushes. Did a search and found that people here tend to recommend powerflex or the ones from rally design (with the rally design ones being rather affordable too)

Im looking for full sets front and rear bushes, wanna change as many as I can whilst the car is out of service for the conversion.

So what's everyones opinions, what do you use, who do you recommend, links to where you got them from?

The cars usage intentions are fast road. Just want the car to feel tight and not like shes had 5 kids lol

:thumb: Any useful info will be +repped accordingly (for those I can rep)

Ive got Rally Design ones up front on mine and they come well made and are easy to fit.

I did front lower arms and tie bars for £25 all in inc postage.

Havent driven it yet, but for the money, you cant go wrong.:thumb:

Ok Stan thanks for that +rep on the way.

My Nova doesn't run a front ARB so am I looking to change tie bar, front lower arm, and rear beam bushes? Are there any bushes I have missed?

(need to spread the love first :( )

no you ave covered all them all i would highly recomend poly bushing made one hell of a difference

[GRUNT 16V]

when i say covered them all i think you can get rear shocker mounts but i really dont think it would be worth the hassle

floflex do a complete set for about 120 IIRC not sure about quality

they have a site, and on ebay

I have Powerflex and Flo-flex stuff for mine. Some dont seem to like the Flo flex, not sure why. They had a good range and seem reasonably priced aswell.

this company are about 15 mins away and seem to do some quality stuff

[Nova_Tek]

I can get superflex ones for £80 all round, £112 for powerflex all round. Difference in quality between superflex and powerflex?

The rally design ones only state 1.3 - GTE bushes

[Pistol Pete]

Difference maybe in the type of material used.

Wheres my rep :mad: :p

[Nova_Tek]

You'll get it, just wait for a bit lol

[Pistol Pete]

lol

TBH alot of it comes down to cost. I cant help feeling that most of the time bushes are bushes, you just pay for a name?

[Nova_Tek]

+rep given Pete 58, happy now? Others that have helped cannot be repped coz 'spread rep first' propabbly coz I repped most of you today for the pump thread :thumb:

True, powerflex are a bit of a bump really, superflex seem to be more reasonably priced.

A quick one: apart from the ARB bushes are all the other bushes on all Novas the same size?

[Pistol Pete]

Bushes are the same AFAIK.
