Evening all, so I need to change the bushes (specifically front rear) as they're shot. I've been looking at the different poly kits and was after a bit of advise. I've been looking at superpro, powerflex and flo-flex. Now the prices differ greatly so wondered what experiences people have had.
I'm currently swaying towards the superpro set I think. As the metal inserts are definitely separate and not pre pressed.
I know that I will get vibrations etc that's fine as I have a poly dogbone.

I have powerflex polly bushes in my wishbones and they aint to bad realy can be a bit harsh on some bumps.easy to put in aswel i used a bench vise to put them in
-
TT bushes are a better option, they're solid so an upgrade from standard ones but without the harshness that comes with polybushes.
-
Are the TT ones more difficult to get pressed in? I have heard about those and the cupra R bushes too.
Like I said I have a polybushed dog bone and the vibrations aren't too bad and I spend quite a bit of time in a fully poly bushed civic type r.
I just wondered if there are any differences in quality between the brands
-
I have found it is best to use a TT rear solid bush and a polybush on the front wishbone bush.
Polybushes seem to work better on things like the front bush where it is rotating as such rather than the forces put on the rear bush.
-
After much deliberation I went for SuperPro bushes, I must say I'm glad I did! What a difference they have made. I haven't really noticed any extra vibrations except for when the engine is completely cold and it has transformed the drive for me - although the standards were knackered.
I would highly recommend them to anybody.
