Oh, I thought polybush and powerflex were the same thing! Whoops.

So why are these better than the power flex ones?

T5_Monkey (member) has had his car polybushed for some time (i think using the focus set) and Monkey always posts up how good they make the car feel. Definitely something on my 'To Do' list.

Ben have you got any pictures you can upload of the work that the polybush engineers have done? I for one would be interested.

No Photos.

Everyone goes on about upgrades online... all I can say is polybushing is the biggest single leap my car took in terms of being a B road beast.

Can't imagine this kit being so different to the Powerflex one (cheaper maybe!)

One thing is.. your ride will be HARD on 18" with these! and the steering feels busy on long runs - but a price well worth paying.

I have the say the ride isn't that hard on my 18s but the steering is more direct, but it feels so much more planted on the motorway and on A-roads and not particularly "busy" although I know what you mean.

Pictures can be found on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/sharkperformance and click the link showing our (filthy, sorry) V50.

Could be the springs.

Am on Eibachs and B8's here.

Any update on price and is it possible (or will it be possible) to buy just the front or just the rears?

I'm waiting with baited breath. ;-)

What bushes are you doing for the S40/V50

is it a full replacement kit?

or just lower wishbones ?

Any updates on the Polybush kits and availablilty??

I'd be interested in knowing whether these puppies have any effect on reducing road noise transmission into the cabin through the chassis, does the car drive quieter over bumps or do you still "hear" those bumps?

you'll hear em.. and feel em!

much less crashing though... which was what always annoyed me anyway
