Default Which bushes ?

I have the rear completely stripped out of my 95 WRX RA for powdercoating, im looking to replace all the bushes before refitting.

Im not sure just how much difference there would be from one set of polyurethene bushes to another and so any input or advice would be apprecitated.

So far i have found:

Powerflex
Flo Flex on ebay
SuperFlex
Super pro

I dont know if the extra money for the Powerflex is justified or not, im not keen on paying for the brand name, but if there is a notable difference in quality im happy to pay the extra.

Any useful input appreciated.

The technology and formulations of polyurethane has advanced dramatically over the last few years. I think that British and American manufacturers are somewhat behind in this respect.

I would try the Australian manufacturers like Nolathane, Noltec, Whiteline and SuperPro. I think that they are a fair bit advanced over the other options.

Buy Subaru - Front & Rear - Running Gear Bush Kit by PRI Racing Ltd. buy online

SuperPro is one of the kits im seriously considering at the minute,

the thing that put me off initially was the price, its a good bit cheaper than the Powerflex stuff, but i have no experience in this area , hence the origional post.

Thanks for the in put lookout ill have a browse and see what these other companys offer

I have just had the car rebushed, alignment done, coilovers fitted and gear box and engine mounts fitted. The bushes used were SuperPro and I can say that the difference is night and day, although I had quite a list of parts fitted the bushes work well at keeping everything supple and yet not allowing the ride to go too sloppy. The ride is now firmer than STi and is complient enough not to shake your fillings out.

Whiteline PLUS

Whiteline Plus do a range of translucent black polyurethane bushes that seem to have the latest formulations.
