morning guys,

I'm wanting to replace the wishbone bushes and rear bush on my '05 LCR.
Does anyone know the difference between Polybush and Powerflex, besides the cost and colour? Are the Polybush's any softer/harder? Any advantages of fitting one over the other?

Cheers,

Andy

Its 6 and two 3s tbh. I've used all 3 on numerous cars and neither of them failed and performed well, but I tend to favour powerflex (its what I've put on my wishbones on my LCR).

Just stating my preference a did alot of reading and people said it made car abit stiff and ride abit hard I did all mine except consoles which a went soild rubber ones from the audi tt cupra r lowered by 20mm front and back and it handles good for what it is

I used spherical bearing instead of a rear bush in the wishbone and it rides better than it used to with poly or OE as it can rotate instead of flexing

Superpro bushes are supposed to be one of the better ones. We sell loads where I work. People usually buy the powerflex ones for engine mount bushes and dog bone bushes. Various different cars I'm talking about not just lcr's. Heard superpro bushes do make a hell of a difference though

Damnit, so I need to contemplate to swap all the Powerflex bushes by SuperPro now ;) Are there any conclusive tests out there?

If youve already powerflexd id not change to super just for the sake off it read the forums theres no best yea peeps seam to go with super more you can change the angle with rear consoles with super aswell check there web site to see what a mean but other than that id say powerflex easier to fit but can come apart. Super harder to fit and harder all together as all one unit. Both have lifetime warranties and are good for road so id spend ya money on a rear arb or sommet diff. Just my opinion m8 a need to get my posts up aswell lol
