Anyone Looking For A Cheap Poly Bush Kit?

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased one of the following complete rear end Polyurethane Bush Kit's off of a seller on eBay, you know one of those "it's only £50 - let's see" sort of deals.

Anyway I have alway's installed Powerflex poly bushes to all of my previous vehicles for the past 20 years and they have been great but the complete rear end kit from Powerflex was around £250-£275 so I thought that for £50 this eBay kit was a steal - And that included postage as well!

I received the full kit within 2 day's of ordering it and everything looked good, even came with Stainless Steel sleeve inserts. The kit was very easy to install after removing the old pushes which is a complete pain in the behind - no instructions are provided with the kit so if you need any guidance drop me a line.

So far I have completed over 500 miles with this kit and the car handles totally different from the previous worn out factory rubber bushes, okay so noise in the car is up a little bit but once the stereo is on the noise is not noticeable.

The only thing that I would say is make sure that you tell them which size rear anti-roll bar you have as the standard size they send you is 17mm, not much good if you have a STi 20mm anti-roll bar.

I replaced all eight of the lateral link bushes and the front trailing arm bushes, still to replace the rear beam bushes but need to wait until I get the car onto the ramp at work for this.

Just waiting on the front kit and the steering rack kit then my Whiteline Subframe Locking Bolt's & Rear Strut Brace to arrive before getting the car into Big Lou's for a final alignment.

Anyway enough waffling on - here is the link - get them bought - you will notice a great difference:

Just for reference here is the link to the Powerflex site so you can see the price difference:

Great bit of info that mate

You might be waiting a while on the BigLou front.

I called into Car Tyre World at lunchtime to have a chat with him ref setting up my car and the woman in the office told me "he's off on MATERNITY leave" and she didnt know when he'd be back.

Is there no end to this man's talents ????

Typical - And I thought that Paul had just been putting weight on - Wow - Maternity Leave - Amazing Man!

I drove through Tudhoe this morning and was hgoing to call in & book but remembered that I am still waiting on some more bits.

You'll have to let us know how that poly bush kit goes. Ive got a feeling I could do with tightening up my back end. The whole thing feels a bit sloppy at the moment, hence my visit to Lou and 50 note looks like a bargain.

By the way Ive texted him but no reply yet. Will keep you posted on that front if I hear anything. I asked for a cheeky "group buy" price so I'll let you know what he comes back with. Probs call me a pikey and tell me to do one.
