Forge dog bone anyone got one?
« on: 13 March 2009, 22:06 »
Anyone got one of these, what are they like. Looks like it's a poly bush, will that be a bit harsh and noisy?

Cheers, Sam

Why's the R32 mount so fecking expensive? Is it the complete 'dog bone' or is it just the rubbers? Abbout £65-75 IIRC?   :angry:

The Powerflex bush, which is basically the most popular one and also the one that Forge sell, does start off with a bit more vibration but after a few weeks it does bed in and isn't a bad.

I'm going to get the Forge bushes when I get round to it. Although most places charge £6-7 to deliver one small little packet which is annoying.
