Bought a new set of Protech shocks and springs late last year for my Griff 500, however,only thinking now of getting round to fitting them! Whereas lots of you guys seem to be constantly pulling your cars apart for a variety of reasons* I just want to wheel it out and drive it.
Maybe this is a NO-BRAINER but whilst I don't intend any trackdays I still want to maximize the handling but not at the expense of comfort. Car is kept in North Donegal ROI where a lot of the roads are surprisingly good and uncrowded, however minor roads are generally poorish with the odd pothole.
Basically do I go for Powerflex bushes throughout to get the max out of the new shocks, or consider replacement with std rubber bushes for perceived comfort. Car has power steering.

Seems the pros for fitting original rubber outweigh the cons for powerflex, despite difficulty of removal of original rubber.Limited broadband where I am at mo but will watch this space when possible.
Many thanks for comments thus far.

John, have you thought of buying yourself one of these? I did. Suddenly a difficult job becomes quite an easy job and it is not a great deal of money considering the cost of other things.

I sound like a rep for Automotech, which I'm not but their stuff is very well priced. Pete
Pete, only picking up on Forum tonight, but thanks for press info. Mechanic/engineer about 50yds from me has a press which I had intended using when I get to that stage. Like yourself, still on the fence re bushes.
