Rebushing - Thoughts? Tips

[Smitters]

Folks - I'm considering completely rebushing the car - most are looking quite tired and I need a new A Frame anyway.

Does anyone have any experience of the Powerflex bushes versus the Caterham stock items? Is there a kit/kits out there that are worth considering?

Many thanks

Simon at Meteor sold me a Powerflex (?) set for the car while I was going through a rebuild. So no rubber bushes at all on my car. I also refreshed the suspension and changed the springs, so I didn't change just one thing to give good feedback on, but all seems hunky dory.

The hardest part was telling Arch not to put any brushes in some newly returned parts, for them not to listen, so I had to push all the rubber ones out to then easily slide the Powerflex ones in. They're a doddle to fit, no press needed.

How does the car feel after replacing the bushes with powerflex?

Yikes - rebush, not rebuild! Though I can see how one could scope creep to the other...
