Just fitted full sbits bush kit

Post by Muttley »

What a difference!

I picked up my car from 3S last night after having a full polyurethane bush kit fitted (also fitted new wheel bearing, drop links and ball joints) and it feels superb. \:D/

The car feels tight and sharp, much like a new car, yet it has just the right amount of flex. It doesn't feel sloppy when cornering hard and turn-in feels sharper. It's just much more confidence inspiring - very pleased. :lol:

Oh, and no more annoying noises!!!! :D

Well worth it IMO.

Bush kit was just under £120 from sbits.

Drop links were from sbits too - better and cheaper than OEM ones by all accounts.

Yep its a good mod. 3S fitted mine a few weeks ago, I still need to get a full alignment done to get the best out of it- i can feel it wandering all over the place at the mo- i'm guessing cause the geometry is all over the place!

I'd have liked to do it myself, but without a press and 4 point lift it'd be a real pain!

Just got the front ARB bushes on so far and waiting on the rear ARB bushes to come into stock! Cant really tell too much difference coz I had new dampers put in at the same time but has definatly improved the ride. Considering poly bushes all round now myself.

At 3S - about £200. It's quite a time consuming job.
