   Thinking about replacing all the bushes on my vtr as the old ones are rather tired now. Been looking at the Temple Rally Sport ones.

   cheers!

   Not had any experience with them but they seem to look good. Although more expensive than powerflex/polyrace by the looks of it?
   
   One thing is for certain, no matter which make of polybush you use, the difference will be there!!!

   road noise is always made worse with poly bushes and they can make the ride a bit harsh

   The TRS polybushes are from a company called "polybush"

   +1^, in the off road competition world, powerflex were always the poor quality bushes compared to genuine polybushes

   Had Polyrace (were bright orange) bushes on the back of my Gti. I wouldn't say I was an expert but even I could feel the difference. Didn't make it too firm just tightened it up a bit. Would deffo recommend doing the rear.
