Choose your mota, then you need to buy the front and back bush kits. That's everything!

Powerflex offer a items to do nearly all the suspension bushes. I found it made the ride extra firm and probally looking back I might have been tempted just to have fitted new OE equipment.

Fine on smooth roads but as soon as you hit the bumpy stuff you know about it and Ive only gone down 35mm so not silly low, 40mm+ and I reckon your be in trouble :n:

has nothing to do with how low you go its to do with the stiffness of the springs/torsion bars you run.

www.rallyedesign.co.uk do polyrace bushes which are better than powerflex imo and cheaper

from the look of your car i wouldnt go for hard bushes, as it seems your more of a style whore than an hardcore track slag, personally if my car was a road car i would keep em soft to keep my spine intact lol!

its only on my track car ive gone for solid shit.

[Ryan]

aftermarket, i would go for polyrace aswell.

alot better priced than others arnt they dude, mine are not fitted yet but when compaired to alexs powerflex seemed fcking solid

if the car is just used for a daily driver then yes. either that or the softer compound out of the aftermarket bushes.

as i said it depends on your driving.

it may only be a 1.4 but i do like pushing it to its limits round the bends.

so i will probley be going for the aftermarket softest compounds.

as i asked though do you do lots of road miles? is it a long drive to work etc? what are the roads like? you need to take all this into consideration and find a happy medium between comfort and having the car set up right.
