Poly bushes advice please.

Anybody used these from GSF?

Are these a cheap version of something else? Are they any good? Or has anyone had any problems with them? If these are crap, what would you recomend and where can I get them?

I fitted a Bonrath G3 kit to my G2 when I was out in Germany in May - they were VERY stiff and creak a little, but have made the front end pretty sharp.

thats the bugpack kit pictured, which are fine. in addition to that kit you need proper rear beam bushes (inserts in this kit=crap), front subframe bushes, pas rack bushes if you have pas (manual rack bush in the kit). i think thats it

Same as big boys toys sell and ive had them on a previous golf to good effect. You wont go far wrong with them though I question why they have put the bump stops in there.

cant recommend the powerflex kits enough. expensive, but the cars so sharp

I have just checked up on powerflex bushes and the prices vary between suppliers. I have found a set for the G60/Rallye. Now one being 2wd and the other being 4wd, do they utilize the same bushes? I don't want to order a car set to find I can only use half of them. The only car set I have found that includes my car are 297 quid!

Is it only the front set that is different between the stock MKII and the G60, or are the rears different too?
(I suppose I could always give these guys a call on Monday and pose these questions. )

yours will be the same as normal gti. all you need is rear beams, and front wishbone set.

however i got front subframe and steering rack. cost nowhere near the price you quoted

rear- 45
front in wishbones -89
rack- 20
subframe- 20

big difference- yes

I have a G60. Most of the suppliers state all MKII 8v and 16v, but not G60. Confused!

powerflex ftw

DarnPiston - you will probably be OK with the front end 16V kit, although you'd do well to check your ARB diameter. 

For the back end you definitely DO NOT want the Syncro/Rallye set, as they accommodate the superior independent rear suspension.  As such the bush kits are completely different.

I'd also suggest checking the rear ARB diameter, to see that it's the same as the specified one on the lesser Golfs - IIRC it could well be a little larger.
