Polly bushes....again

[alekos911]

Hi zed mates.. I am currently thinking of buying and installing on my 3.0si coupe some polly bushes to make the most out of my car's suspension. After a quick search I realised that powerflex are the most popular ones among other zed owners. Are these so good as owners dealers etc state? Will they transform my car's road holding? (my car has 25000 kms on the clock but the bushes are not as stiff as I want them to be for a sports car)

Also I would like to enquire if there is any chance of accelerated deterioration of other suspension parts due to the stiffer bushes(taking into account that these bushes will cushion less vibrations etc)??

Also I would like to attach this video:

I hope your planning on lots of track use as there is NO point what so ever polybushing the car otherwise. And no they dont 'transform' a cars handling they just sharpen it and make it very stiff and unforgiving. Brilliant for a smooth track, not great for the road at all.

Concur with Dreamer-everything I've read or heard is to go poly IF you track your car quite a bit. It will transform the ride and handling alright--to a track car, not a street car. Go back with OEM, IMO.

So you suggest choosing oem?? I am not sure but I think the front lower bushes are prone to failing-deteriorating a bit early.I think there are some guys in this forum that have installed poly bushes..What do they think?
