polybush or not?
Discussion
I recently spoke to powerflex and nearly all of the bushes in the tvr kit they supply are from the black series apart from a couple used on the roll bars.
I'm probably going to go for the powerflex black bush kit. At the end of the day if the ride is hard after polybushing then there's something wrong with the damping.

+1 on that Matt. I've just written the very same comment on the 'stability' thread. Just to reiterate I've just made my own bushes from acetal with stainless sleeves (grooved for grease retention) and the ride is smoother, less crashy and more precise than ever. There is no extra NVH and I've backed the dampers off one click with no derogatory effect on grip.

The originals are an old out of date bush. If you look on all the other marques of cars they are going over to poly bush so why are some TVR drivers fitting old specification bushes unless they are trying to keep its originality?
I got so many different opinions when researching this. The above statement sums up the reason for my decision to go polybush. Glad that I did!Gassing Station | Tuscan | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
