I haven't picked it up yet, I will fit it regardless of other info as in that link. It must have a marked improvement - just based on the design.

On a slightly different note - I am looking now to poly bush the car too, but I must say that is proving to be a difficult item to come by - any ideas on poly bush kits for the 03 S40 ? - you guys have gotta know

They do make a difference, jaguar, honda, subaru, mitsubishi fit them as standard. If it didn't make a difference why would they fit them?

I started with that so no one posts a message about how it doesn't work etc.

I have a custom made one on mine and it sorted out a little sloppyness in the front end. Mine is level with the strut tops to reduce flex at the inner wing first. They work better on the back end first i believe but i haven't gotten round to messing with that yet.
