Polybushes

Postby hb69 on Sun Jul 12, 2009 10:09 pm

Im looking to get my cars fully polybushed. I had floflex on the mk1, and had no problems with them, but i only covered about 500 miles with them on, so didnt really give them a chance to fault.

Ive checked, and floflex dont make any for 306's.So that rules them out. So, Im after peoples opinions really, what polybushes do you recommend using?

Floflex were ok, no better than i suspect a new set of standard bushes would be.

Ill give powerflex a try :)

I'm after £25 posted for it, They are only a shade over that from a shop or whatever but I've only had it a few days!

I think it would work pretty well on a GTi-6 if the other two engine mounts are in good order.

I'll send you the paypal info.

I did my top mounts and front shocks the other day, It does ride higher now which is a bit annoying but not so annoying that i'd change it all I dont think.

It already handles better, though the improvement from those would be nice. Price?

:rolleyes: HDi

Need to do the top mounts on mine soon, they make so many weird noises. Its worse since i took the strut brace off :( Need to refit it really

The springs are £100+ new, mine arent a year old yet. They do have very slight overspray from when the wing was redone, obviously that doesnt effect how they work.
How about £40 posted?
