powerflex

[Dicko]

im thinking of putting powerflex bushes on my nova. has anybody else done this? does it seriously make things uncomfortable if you do alot of driving and does it help alot to performance?
also how hard to fit?
am i best of just getting new std vuax bushes or shal i go for powerflex?

[mmollart]

get some polysport bushes from rally design, not as harsh as powerflex & cheaper www.raldes.co.uk

hmmm, whats all this harsh about. i run polybushes all round and the ride on mine isnt overly hard, it must be the general concept that one says they are hard so must be :roll: , like ashley zorsts, mine isnt overly loud, but everyone says they are so they must be etc etc :lol: , go for it dicko you aint got nothing to loose. :D

well standard would give a massive improvement over what you have at the moment.

but having been in a few cars with polyflex recently i have to say they arent "harsh" (on their own), it makes the suspension do its job properly rather than having a fair bit of play in the bushes, then the suspension kicks in.

and also the rally design bushes are cheaper than Vaux std ones lol

they are not harsh at all. I had them in the wide arch Nova and along with rose jointing it still was not badI think the same as Dan, one person says one thing and all of a sudden lots of people have a notion thats completely wrong.
Go ahead and buy them :D

ye im defo not getin new std vuax cuz near imposible to fit myself.
so which would u get, the powerflex or polysport?

[CP]

The cheapest - they will wear on the tie bars what ever.
One of the main advantages is that powerflex come in 2 bits which makes refitting a doddle

[Dicko]

so the others dont. if not im defo getting powerflex :D

Those of you that have polybushes all round, do you really need them? I've heard that you only really need them at the front?

ive never fitted or been in a car with them, but would have thought the rear beam would benefit massively from being tightened up
