what ones ya got, and is there a noticeable difference

cheers

 

All of them!!

Even the Front Top Mounts. IMO, they are all worth doing.

Particularly the Rear Inner Wishbones Bushes, which co-incidentally are the hardest to do!!

 

christian.. when i put which ones you got, I mean as in make as i am gertting mixed response about deflex and polythingy's

what kind of figure i am looking at to put all new bushes in, labour wise

merci o wise one

 

Superflex! I had the whole set, apart from the rear springs. Front strut tops from Powerflex.

Worth every penny - but saying that I've just ordered a MEF rear setup, and have had TAS adjustable TCA's for years. (interested in some second hand bits?)

Talk to Chris he'll do you a deal

 

superflex,deflex,powerlex,are the main ones,but you may find d-flex,hyperflex,and other polybushes on ebay!

 

Deflex myself, fitted all the rear so far, front still to do Not much difference so far, maybe because I have only done the rear, lol

 

easy to go on then?they say the rears the toughest!

 

You need a press or vice, and an assortment of sockets, and metal tubes. Various bits of wood and metal come in handy too, and some WD40. Basically you have to push the old bush housings out using enourmous force, while ensuring that you dont bend the arm. A few careful cuts with a Dremel cutting wheel also helps to get the old stuff free. Use the grease supplied to lubricate all the surfaces and to help in pushing the polybush into it's housing.

While you are there, it would be a good time to remove the crappy rear brake valves in favour of adjustable bias valves - or even new lines and a front/rear split.

 

The rear outer ones usually don't have the outer steel tube like the original ones to support the bush itself. Therefore to gain anything from fitting polybushes the rear wishbone needs more tube welded onto it to support the bush by a larger area.

 

Superflex come with those bush housings in stainless steel.

 

I would say that deflex bushes seem to do the job well and the price is right , only problem i found was with there front anti roll bar bushes are a bit crap because they start to go oval in shape , hence causing play on the bar. Substitute them with the powerflex ones and all will be good.

 

I gave up with these methods when trying to remove mine, I did try honest In the end I got the blow torch out and went to work they soon came out then - Note: do this outside, and wear safety goggles and a mask, the fumes they give off are not nice!

 

cheers lads for the info

 

Ive got a brand new set of deflex bushes for a s2 for £55 posted if your interested PM me

 

cheers mate, but goin to go with proper decent ones

good price tho

what are they looking like?how much to buy ,were from?

ive got totally replacement arms(rear) to put on,so my bushes will go on before fitting!,so if the brakes are easy enough to change,bob was my uncle,do tell!

 

Talk to Rally Design for a bias valve. They cost about 40 quid or so.

Splitting the brake lines is a bigger job. Your best off talking to a tuner about this, unless you have the faciliy to raise your car and the money for some specialist tools. It's not a job to do on a sunny saturday.
