    Coupe front and rear subframe bushes are the same other than the internal diameter of the bolt hole.

    After just checking what I purchased last year my Coupe is fitted with the black Superflex one's fitted front and rear, I rate them, much better than the solid alloy items that were on the car when I got it. While their a little firmer than the stock rubber you'd be hard pressed to notice any difference...

    I would imagine the one's Albert's can supply are just as good.

        Early cars like my 3B are 10mm front and rear.

        Here's link to the Superflex ones, I notice they offer 10/12mm as an option front and rear so I guess it's best to check what diameter bolt's are fitted back/front before ordering.



        I think their wrong about the front of B4 car's being different, the rears most certainly are though.

                I measured mine the other day. Screwed one bolt out while suppoting the diff, and it was a 12mm. Not sure why its different from car to car

                  Do you feel any difference when clutching/declutching while in gear?

                    Rear is always M10. Never came across M12 in rear.

                    Front is M10 on 3B cars and M12 on ABY. There might be some very early ABY M10 ones.

                      No, all the suspension bushes on my car are poly, wishbones, subframe and ARB's and I don't find the ride harsher in anyway compared to my totally stock RS2. I do however run stock springs with uprated dampers on my S2 and usually 16" wheels.

                      Albert, your bushes look like a good buy. Do you do them in different compounds?

                      Yeah, I thought all CQ's inc S2's have 10mm rear subframe bolts, I think Superflex have simply duplicated their advert for that product.
