Hi guys need a bit of info. ARB polybushes vs oem bushes on a classic wagon?. I have had my ARBARS powder coated and im not sure if to go for polybushes or oem bushes. What are the pro's and con's of polybushes against just using new oem bushes. Any comments welcome. Thanks phil

 

Polybush mate

 

I am doing this, and after advice from 2 suspension specialists, have decided to go OEM. They both said, if you are going to track it, yes, but if it is a daily driver no, due to possibility of vibration .

 

?? a good quality ARB bush in poly will NOT add any undue vibration.................

whats the difference btween them. phil

 

the poly bushes will hold the bar correctly and allow if to focus on its job, whereeas the rubber ones flex too much as std and a lot of the effort is simply wasted in deflection

You only get NVH noise vibration and harshness, if doing all bushes, and sub frame lock nuts etc. Just doing ARB bushes, no difference, just better. And last longer. Go for it and enjoy.

 

Sorry, miss read and jumped to conclusion the op was asking about all bushes.

 

Hi i have decided to go for the poly bush bushes then i am going to get a set of solid drop links.

 

I've got Powerflex ARB bushes fitted front and rear, as well as them fitted to the rear (front & rear) lateral link arms, and also the front and rear ARB drop links. No noticeable vibration over the OEM bushes they replaced.

And because they are manufactured in two halves they are a piece of cake to fit. Highly recommend!

 

My poly bushes arrived this morning.I went for a set of super pro ones, whats your feelings on super pro bushes guys?. phil

 

Oh no, not SuperPro bushes Phil, they're absolute sh*t! ..............................

you had me going for a minute then mate.

 

Does any one know what size classic sti roll bars are?

 

The only real way of knowing for sure is to get under the car with a vernier and measure them. That way you can't be wrong!

 

Normally 19mm mate, not always 100% true though.

 

you can use a spanner if you dont have any verniers

 

That's a good idea. I've got a vernier and so it's never been an issue having to measure anything. But if you don't have one the open end of a spanner is a very good alternative!

As you appear not to have bothered to register as a trader with Scoobynet and pay the dues required, you can sod off..

 

We also supply and fit suspension bushes including Powerflex and Super Pro.
The difference with us is that we support Scoobynet instead of taking advantage.
