I give them the thumbs up, they're crap at answering e-mails, but ring them or fax and you'll get a reply pretty quick.


The polybushes are well worth it imo.

i had polybushes a while back but had lots of problems with them, so i went and got some 'proper ones'

rather than being a split bush that was pressed into the lower arm/tie bar braket i bought new lower arms and tie bar brackets with 1 piece bushes already pressed in. much better

oh, and avoid DEFLEX polybushes like the plague they are utter shite.

got them alround on mine mate, No probs with them.

They have less play for longer than a standard rubber bush. in other words stiffer for longer and better to start with.

the damage above was caused by the bush bulging under cornering and rubbing against the tie bar. (and i used the big washer)
