    Poly bushes all round advice

    Hello people, My S2 coupe should be going for paint in around a month or so, and will be taking both subframes off and renewing EVERYTHING - my question is has anyone replaced every bush front and rear with poly ones and whats the verdict? My setup is half rollcage,buckets, big brakes etc and the car will see a 50/50 mix of road/track use. Any
    Advice greatfully recieved

    Thanks

    Yes I have all poly everywhere. Excellent compromise for road & track.
    Since you are caged and a bit more hardcore you could try solid subframe bushes

      Poly everywhere except engine, gearbox and front rear diff mounts, and it's fine for road use, totally fine.

      As above, if you are that much of a racer, go solid for the subframes

        Thank you very much for the advice. Any real world experience on solid subframe mounts? Why not go for diff mounts?

        Thank you

                For me, it was cost, the others are relatively cheap, and mine is a road car only really, so no need to make it noisier/harsher than it needs be.

                On that note, if any of you want to make your Audi quieter, make sure you refit the engine undertray -what a difference! Mine broken and smashed in many places, but it has cut the engine noise into the cabin by maybe 50%.

                      How is it? I have heard good and horror stories about their stuff?

                      I fancy a rear half with harness bars, and a couple of extra braces.
