powerflex bushes

[dannygti]

hey guys n girls just a few questions.
powerflex bushes, anyone who has fitted them do they make a difference?
are they easy to put in?
and should i do the arb strait away or can i leave it for now?
also do the powerflex rear beam bushes make any difference?
any help would be mucho appreciated:y:

[bullit]

yes they do. firmer ride tightens handling on tight corners.
can be a bitch to get old ones off.
arb wont matter.
do them all

[dannygti]

ok bullit, also im getting a pugsport exhaust and just wondered wether i should uprate the exaust mounting rubbers?

[bullit]

personal preferance really, not like its gonna increase anything

yh mate just thinking it might stop the exhaust from vibrating in the tunnel and also hanging low which i hate

[bullit]

might do, see after youve put in on unless there cheap you might aswell then if others are bit old

sorry Itsafastworld85 ive ordered them bout half an hour ago with some bottom ball joints lol nevermind
which ones are the harshest?

[Ryan]

polyrace are alot harder.

o well still beter than std.

[dannygti]

also Itsafastworld85 do you know what rear beam type i would need
1998 gti
would i need?

Rear Beam Mount - 31mm Housing 10mm Bolt or
Rear Beam Mount - 33,5mm Housing 12mm Bolt (Alternative Mount, Late Type)

sorry i just thought id pick you brains cause you seem a knoledgeable person (sp)

[dannygti]

also could i do the rear bushes myself?

[Ryan]

off the top of my head yours would be the later type, although id ring up and ask as i cant remeber 100%

also rear beam bushes are easy to do if you can get the beam off ok

[williamsvts]

they come off easy. just whack a screwdriver in to snap the plastic.

[l1ukeRS]

you can knock them out with a extension bar and a socket head

[ryhornvtr]

Yes they are good. Nothing wrong with powerflex either. They firm up the suspension quite nicely.

theyre harder than powerflex

only thing is that the arb ones dont fit right so you want powerflex ones for the arm.

williamsvts also belives polyrace are better
