getting hottuning coilovers but what bushes to use? (powerflex)

[sharki786]

Hi all,

going to be getting some hottuning coilovers this week hopefully, but ive heard on this website that i will need to replace the bushes with powerflex bushes for vr6 to last longer or something else??? I have a golf gti mk3 8v anniversary, which bushes do i need to replace?
Gsf dont do the powerflex as i have just rang then. the guy i spoke to also said that its best to replace the bottom bushes on the rears??? Just need to confirm this before going ahead.

Thanks in advance.

I would replace all the top mounts but the bushes should be fine.

Yuo will need to replace the front top mounts with a set off a VR6. When I did mine I bought them from HERE, Next day delivery. 

You can replace the bottom bushes on the rear but they don't normaly go.
