On a coupe the power flex bushes will be the ones in the diagram below.

1-wishbone bushes
2-anti roll bar to sub frame bushes
3-not used
4-not used
7-center rear diff mount



You will want the diameter of the anti roll bars to order the anti roll bar bushes.

i have full powerfex except rear diff and front rooll bar. i have new rubber on the roll bar and the stock diff mount at present. I have promounts also the alloy subframe.i have stock FARB and whiteline rear. i have koni shocks and springs.

i removed both subframes best way to get good access to the bits. also a good chance to paint up the subframes.

i also fitted new ball joints all round from audi.

its very nice to drive now i feel. the chassis has very little soul anyway but its a massive improvment.

Hello, this is really helpful.
There is a difference also between cast or forged wishbones I think for wishbones bushes.

Thanks!

yes there is.

mine were all pressed wishbones.

Also there are 2 bush sizes on coupe on subframes. its to do with the bolt size. check them first before buying.

with the setup i have the car drives very flat. body roll is minimal but over the bumps its as good as my 5 series which i never expected. the steering is pin sharp. mates have commented on how sharp it is.

i also run 235 18" wheels and its great. the lighter wheels are better. i run BBs RC.

I do not have the complete setup on my Coupe but I do have powerflex bushes front and rear and must say that I am really enjoying them. I was very surprised how much they tightened up the car when I got rid of old tired original rear bushes about a month ago. Gives the car much more confidence in corners... I didnt expect the difference to be quite so dramatic.

So the comfort is good?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Hello, please what I must know before order the complete Powerflex setup? Front antirollbar diameter? Forged or pressed wishbones on front and rear? Rear antirollbar diameter?
Thanks!

All rear wishbones are pressed.

If front ones look like style of rear, then they are pressed. You will see if they are forged one piece at front by just looking and comparing to rear.

Best to just measure your antirollbar to be 100% sure - I cannot remember the sizes in my head.

BTW - comfort is great with Powerflex bushes.

Hello Paul, on front under my S2 Coupe ABY and RS2 I have forged wishbones from the factory, so I must measure RS2 front antirollbar, because under my S2 on front I want mount it, Whiteline rear antirollbar, also if it is sold already with "like Powerflex bushes" and then? What I must reinforce?
Thanks a lot!
Bye
