False mate.

I Run all polybushes except Mugen compliance bush and the ride is near enough the same, just a little bit firmer and deals with the bumps better.

You just have to keep ontop of silicone greasing the bushes otherwise they do squeak.

Works out a fair bit cheaper than Rubber bushes all round too.

Depends who you ask. There have been a number of reports of people not liking the polybushes at all. One man's "just a little bit firmer" is another's "intolerable".

FWIW I imported all new upper and lower arms (front and rear) from the USA which reduced the costs considerably.

For example, all new rear upper and lower arms and various bolts delivered including duty and VAT were £950. UK price for those parts was £1,700 or so. (Lower arms only worked out at £250 each).

To my simple brain, a solid lump of plastic has less compliance than a similar size of rubber - so the ride has to be harsher?

LG - was that a recent order?

I've heard / read that U.S. Suppliers won't deliver to the UK?

It was 2012. You have PM.

Did you need to get new bolts or just bushes?

I disagree.

There is such a subtle difference. But to most, its honestly not noticeable.

I took Martin/blue monster on here for a spin in my S and he even commented on how well it held the road and how complaint the ride was. Coming from a man with OEM suspension.
