Bushes and Mounts

25th July 2010, 16:47

Hai!

I've done a very brief search but nothing really of interest. i'm hoping if the info received is good enough this could be added to the sticky but we'll see.

Seeing as it's payday next week I'm wanting to upgrade all the bushes and mounts on the car.

So far the possible solutions I've found are:

Bushes

Ideally I want stiffest/hardest bushes you can get which can be used for mainly road but a track day each month starting next year....

Powerflex - Obviously these are quite a large name in the 'bush' industry

But there are obviously kits you can buy for the car which are reasonably priced and these are the purple bushes.

But they also do the black bushes which are apparently stiffer but do they warrant the bump in price?

Polyrace

These are the ones sold on Kamracing, but I've heard bad reports of these with the bush themself and an endless ball ache trying to fit them....

So which would be best and also any other suggestions?

Mounts

Again, I'm after some of the hardest mounts to be used on road and track...

I think I'm set on Vibra-Technics road mounts but if I could get away with it I will opt for the competition mounts. I'm just after some opinions on what would suit best.

Thanks in advance...

I've got the vibra-technics set, The engine barely moves, would recommend.
Got polyrace front wishbone bushes, Can't say anything bad about mine, been on over a year odd and still ok. Just need a press to fit them and they need a little trimming to fit (Just need a stanley blade).

have you looked into some Baker bushes and mounts?

I have a group N lower engine one and its really good. Proper reduced my engine movement massively!

Did you opt for the vibra-technics road or competition?

Also same for the PolyRace set-up...?

Yeah I've heard good things about them may have a look as I'll be purchasing a pulley from them....

Can't remember which polyrace but the mounts where fast road/race i think.
