Default Poly Bushes

Has anyone upgraded all the bushes on their car to poly numbers?

Only place I have found offering a full Powerflex kit is a company called Larkspeed advertising one on ebay for £409.50 with free postage but they dont seem to have this kit listed on thier own website, they do however offer a front kit for £126.50 and a rear kit for £279.50 plus carraige. So far ebay wins.

Is there any other companies out there who offer a full kit or do they have to be ordered item by item?

any advice or help welcome, thanks in advance

I have a 'rubber-free' chassis for the last 3 years on my hillclimb Sti V3.

I had mine fron RC Developments close to Warrington iirc.

You will get the full set from alyn at AS Performance - Rally Motorsport Specialists
Ace guy, arrow straight, no messing about.

He does rally prep work and is in Co Durham. Mail order no probs.

Note!

If you have Whiteline parts ie ALK you will be wasting a lot of cash on bushes you will not need as whiteline parts come with excellent yellow bushes.

The grade I used elsewhere on the suspension and rear diff cage were purple, not full race hardness. This is a Powerflex company grade.
Use good grease on assembly.

Big, hard work job in front of you!

Graham.

cheers Graham, have dealt with Alyn, top bloke

I was thinking about a Whitline ALK too, so you are saying there would be bushes in the kit I would not need? which ones would they be?

I need to do the bushes on the rear diff so thought I would do the lot but after researching prices, hearing what you have to say along with my mate, I am now wondering if I should just do the diff bushes, ALK and do the rest as they need replacing

The Whiteline ALK comes complete with poly bushes.
The ALK replaces the front lower wishbome rear mountings.

To do the whole car as I did in one go took a full day of sweat as I had to cut by hand every steel walled rubber joint.

To do them all means 20 of the buggers iirc. (inc the rear diff)

Sure tightens the chassis up a treat mind.

Question:

Do you want/need a tight chassis or not?
