Poly Bushes (and similar)

[Alpineandy]

One of the cars needs a full set of bushes.
I gather that Polyurethane bushes come in various grades (from filling rattlers to standard) and have to ask if they are worth the money?

Also, My car isn't listed by Poly bush, Superflex or powerflex, so what do I do?
My guess is I need to get a full set of originals, then go along and ask powerflex (they're the closest) for the same in poly. Or is there another way?

Cheers

Poly bushes won't turn an oil tanker into a Caterham...
However, it's the sum of the parts that go to make a good handling car. They will add a little taughtness but in turn they will transmit more road/suspension noise into the car. If your car is mainly a track day toy, then it's probably worth doing (mine is, so I have). If however it's more for road use, then I would say the compromise is probably not worth the minimal performance gain.

Can't amswer yuor question about sourcing the parts, but I would have thought a call to Powerflex would probably be a good place to start.

Superflex will make bushes to order and are available in a range of shore values( stiffnesses) ranging from softer than than std rubber to nearly solid
