    yup got them fitted on mine at the moment with koni shocks and UR Quattro top mounts. Had a few problems with squeaks but in process of getting them solved with powerflex.

    but the handling is much improved, I spoke to powerflex about them yesterday and they have changed the design slightly so they arent an interference fit and have grooved sleeves to hold some copper grease inside the bush.

      Thanx man,

      So improved handeling, that sounds good. And how the drivebility on bad roads?
      And what about those ur quattro top mountings, are those the bearings on top of the turret?

        yeah the UR quattro top moutns are made of stiffer material and have a bearing in them.

        I decided to have a got at fitting them all round rather than just on the fronts and thats stiffened the back up taking alot of the play out of it. Shocks were a little too hard to start tho so i have adjusted them a little.

        In process of uprating ARB's at min and will be doing springs shortly.

        Key thing to remember witht he bushes is to cake them in cooper slip to they dont squeak.

        Also worth giving bits and pieces a lick of paint to rust protect too.

          Greg, which bushes have you changed over? The last I remember the only polys we could get were the A-arm bushes. Are we still working on getting replacements for ARB's and subframes?

            I've changed the bushes on the wishbones to the powerflex. I have the sleeves with grooves - the first few times I drove it, it squeaked but don't notice it at all now.

              My car makes enough noises already without adding an annoying squeak!! Cant think of a noise that would **** me off more.

                When I say I don't notice it, I meant it has stopped squeaking.
