Default Poly bush or standard
Hi all
Is this a worth while mod I’m thinking of completely doing my car
It’s going to be a road car running around 500 bhp
Is it worth the cost or not

Good shout on the proflex black series. I am going to use these next month to replace my rear beam mounts.

The original bushes in the trailing arms are actually spherical bearings. So replacing them with poly bushes is a downgrade.
