I've seen it a few times mentioned, silly cost of installation. I need my front ARB bushes replacing for my MOT....is it worth doing poly on those alone?

reading this and know for fact poly-bushes will not make your daily drive much stiffer, i run poly-bushes and upgraded suspensions 1 inch drop and my car is soft but planted. its all about how you set your car.


as for longevity of poly-bushes they will last longer then rubber if you take care about them

It is cheap.. Think about finding the correct bushes for our (Type-S), ordering from the states, taking off the suspension components to fit them, hassle of fitting and then getting everything back in the car.. Lots of man hours. :idea:
