S2 Subframe bushes.

[ristokru]

So subframe is back from painting and needs some bushes now. Have someone tryed black powerflex bushes?

[PRY4SNO]

Jared Hersh of HPR makes delrin subframe bushings, that's another option.

I hate vibratsions because i want it be Daily. Any one more uses solid bushes? Any toughts?

[GazzaG60]

i use alloy. have done for long time. the bushes dont make it any more stiff or bumpy. thats suspension. mines a daily what they doi it stightem up the chassis so mthe subframes dont move.
if your engine mounts are not solid the transfer is mimimal on startup vibration etc.
to be honest i noticed no difference in nride quality and roads are very poor where i live

[ristokru]

Solid is 50% cheaper and best value. But i dont want to stiff/bumpi car.

[GazzaG60]

depending on the car some have 10mm rear and 12mm front. some 10/10

my fronts were 10mm on the saloon. very easy to drill and tap to 12mm.

id say the choice is poly or solid then get the best value you can.

[ristokru]

They probably mean for the rear subframe which uses different bushes

You mean Superflex?

So my options is:

Alu. bushes.

Powerflex:

I dont know why thet sell front and rear front subrame bushes? Its all the same?

So superflex is double the money. Is they so much better than aluminium and powerflex ones? Also they say those bushes dont fit Sedan and saloon. I dont understand it. All subframes on quattro are the same measurment. Only bold is differnent(10mm vs 12mm).

If you want to fit OEM bushes, you have to put a screw in the hole an just press on the screws head. Then the bushes will get longer and also thinner.

Power flex are very easy to fit as well,I found OEM to be very difficult without special tools.

[newsh]

Super flex is a little more flexible

[ristokru]

Whats the difference on powerflex vs superflex?

[newsh]

Actually I have Superflex on my Coupe
Good compromise between stock rubber and Powerflex poly

[Colesy]

I prefer the Powerflex poly bushes to alloy having tried both, handling wise there was no noticeable difference but the ride was slightly smoother..
