powerflex bushes any good?

[diggs04]

are they any good? front lower wishbone bushes and antiroll bushes? they seem to have a large price tag on bbtuning. but do they do the job?are they worth upgrading to these?

[stew]

was wondering the same myself....

anyone?

[BenR]

nope, i dont like them.

They never seem to work out.

The hard polyester plastics are not designed to work with the stock suspensions compound angles in movement. So they bind up, lock, squeek and generally feel crap.

Only way to run is OE rubbers or convert to solid mounts on spherical bearings.

cheers for the heads up ben!

Get the ones from Rally design, alot cheaper, and more compaond options.

Advice taken on board ben, but i liek to find thignsd out for mysaelf, often what suits one person doesn't suit another etc etc

Digs,
Replaced them on my Rally car ~~ pre event (Tour of Mull) preparation,were perfect for the first night ,then when it was p**sing down,they seemed to absorb water,duno what they are made of but must be porous !!!!.Handled like a jelly .
Now use Renault ones and change more frequently .
I have also heard good reports from the Rally Design items,they seem to know there stuff

[diggs04]

Thats for the non-williams cars, williams ARB end bushes (last items iirc) are different and rally design dont' do those, how ever i'm waiting to see if the R5 GTT ones will fit a williams ARB

Hi Guys & Girls

I run them on my willy with close to 1.8 degree of camber and must say the car handles amazing but i don't run stock springs. My Friend who owned the car before me fitted them he said that it improved the handling but as previously said may work for others but not for someone else + my setup is not stock.

Will have the raly design race ones fitted to mine by end of month (if all goes to plan), will report back
