Coops i know you have recently put them on.

Should i go for new standard items or get these polyflex ones?

For a track car that will be running coilovers and renault wishbones.

Cheers!

all out track car, yeah go for it imo. ride gets a little harsher again so wouldnt put them on a day to day, but if your coilovered and that already then expect bit better response and firmer/stiffer ride

Has there ever been a problem with the original bushes?
Nope.

And there is a higher chance of damaging the subframe as well.

We need someone to do a full review on these.....I still haven't had chance to fit mine but I will post the findings up as soon as they are on! I keep on hearing conflicting opinions about them....

tbh for the price they are probably not that much better than o/e bushes

but you pays your money you makes your choice, end of the day the only reviewer you'll ever really trust is yourself, i went through all this when i bought mine, was umming and arhring and loads of people said they were pants which put me off a bit

tried them myself, no complaints, easy to fit and the suspension seems tighter to me, thats just in my experience

Standard ones are more expensive anyway. i rang renault the other day and he quoted me £22 each!!!

For £110 You can get wishbone and arb bushes. Jobs a carrot.

they squeek as the there is a fault with the design the stainless steel sleeve is too big and contacts the subframe. when ordering please state u want the new revised design i did.

Surely you want the stainless steel sleeve to contact the subframe though.
As the clamping of the sleeve acts as the pivot for the rubber bush.
