TT bushes are for the wishbones

Fabia vRS bushes is what you want for the rear beam

Fabia is a more solid rubber, better than Golf; not as harsh as polybush

Helps they are about the same / cheaper than OEM Golf ones

Local dealer is your best bet  :smiley:

I have Superpro's which made a good difference to handling, easy to fit and should be more durable.

Seat are supposedly very harsh

If you want more of an OEM ride then go for the Fabia. Especially at those prices!!!

I had the VRS rear bushes fitted and they were a vast improvement on the standard golf ones. You won't be disappointed :wink:

Collected today. Look same as vw ones apart from that ridge/washer thing on one side. I take it they just a harder rubber?

Mine look like originals from new and they are shot espically rear left knocking like hell
