Hi all,

Saw the other thread on Centre Gravity but didn't want to hi-jack it. My car's going there on 22nd for fitting of Bilstein B16s and, at Chris's recommendation, Superpro (rather than Powerflex) bushes. Since the car is 24 years old I asked them to do the rear swing arms too, but got the following message by email:

"Chris has no experience with changing this particular bush on the car. It’s an unknown I’m afraid on how good the solution is. He’s saying it’s unusual for the rear bushes to need changing as they normally wear really well on the trailing arm bushes. He does agree they have been on the car for nigh on 20 years, so if this is something you want to go ahead with we can do it for you."

They are saying they can fit Superflex on the rear, but then I'm mixing makes front to back, together with now wondering whether I need to do the rear at all.

Anyone care to share an opinion?

Thanks

Super strong according to my Indy and I have never seen them being replaced. Wheel bearings yes, tailing arm bush no.
