I’ve asked on the Mk 5 forums but things tend to be quiet there.
Recently put on new springs/dampers/topmounts all round and I’m gradually starting to go through the other bushes.
On to the front bottom arms next, I’m not usually a fan of poly bushes on a road car so was going to go oem but I’ve seen the anti lift bushes for the rear of the arm and wondered are they worth the expense?
I don’t want to go crazy money wise but if the mods are worthwhile I’m willing to spend a little more.
I’ve heard people talking about using Audi S3 arms etc with better bushes but it’s all a bit confusing.
Car has a Stage 1 tune but is not tracked, just road use.
Thanks

I had the anti lift kit fitted to my Passat and could feel the benefit straight away. Got used to it now but at first it felt great.

320d is all you need

Why don't you like Poly bushes?
I have replaced all the bushes on my 320d with Poly Bushes, didn't really make the ride any harder.

I'd always recommend poly bushes if you can! smile

Thanks for the input.
I decided on the superpro anti lift Bush for the arm rear and went with oe rubber for the rest.
Stayed away from poly for the rest as I don't want any firmer on the ride quality.
