    powerflex bushings query

    Im wanting to uprate all my chassis components on my s2 avant. I used poweflex on my 90q and they were great so il stick with them but i was wondering if anyone knows gthe best place to buy a full set (front and rear wishbones and anti roll bars) ive seen larkspeed do a pack anywhere else?

    or is it better to buy individually, im wanting to uprate the anti-roll bars and i have found that most people use an rs2 front and a whiteline bar 13 rear. Is there another good alternative for the rs2 bar if i cant find one available?

    cheers Graeme

    When I bought mine I bought them direct from powerflex. Superflex are worth a look too.

      Last time I was pricing up a set for a b4 quattro the cheapest was a complete kit from ebay, however I don't see any b4 quattro kits just now, just b3 quattro kits, could be worth emailing one of the sellers for a price?

        I got mine rear set up from eBay £165 all in. If you buy from eBay make sure you get the right bushes cause there is pressed and cast wishbones for the upper rear arms. I didn't know this and they sent bushes for pressed arms lucky I had a set of both arms. My standard arms are cast on a 93L,yours might be cast too.
        Just some finishing touches to do now

          cool cheers for replies, was £165 for a full wishbone set front and back or just back lee? think im just gonna get the wishbone ones and buy the anti-roll bar ones once i have the bars in my possesion

            £165 was for the full rear bush kit with anti roll bar bushes as well. It was cheaper than buying then seperate. I hope Anders doesn't mind but I robbed one of his pics as I don't have any of my rear arms and the interweb is playing up so I can't upload any(on the iPhone)
            here is a pic of the cast rear upper arms some cars came with pressed upper rear arms, Anders had the same problem with the wrong bushes for the wrong arms.
