suspension polybushes

[Toady1]

Has anyone fitted these (full kit) and if so what are your thoughts on them? Str8six are presently changing some of my fubared top wishbone bushes for the standard metalastic bushes and fitting fibrax washers too. He advised against fitting poly bushes as I said I was thinking of fitting a full set! I wanted to hear peoples opinions that have fitted them. Cheers

I had some fitted. I had them changed back. Didn't notice a tangible improvement in overall handling or responsiveness on the road - just introduced more NVH. I think the suspension needs a bit of 'give' for fast road use.

The one`s Steve Heath supplied were rock hard and a different design to the superflex ,they use a sliding bush so less meat on the bush..

Just having my rear suspension done at Willow Sports cars ,Nik showed me the one`s he uses and they are far better than the Steve Heath one`s .

I would have thought that after looking at the standard metalistic bushes compared to the poly bushes that the standard ones were more harsh, and poly ones more compliant?

Glad to know the advice I was given to use traditional style bushes is confirmed by Str8Six - and Jason races TVRs so he should know !

I stand by my advice on this one!
