Poly bushes vs Rubber

Postby John&Luke » Sun May 19, 2019 10:29 am

Looking for the menders wisdom.

So the likelihood is that I will fit new bushes to my suspension. I remember getting the old bushes out is a pain? And that poly bushes fit with easy. However, I think the poly bushes will harden up the ride to much (not building a track car). Can I canvass views on replacing bushes with either poly or rubber bushes please?

I was also looking at Meister shocks, noticed on their web site they list MeisterR Sportive for £500. Has anyone used these?

Advice and views welcome.

Thank you

General thought on bushes is if your just using her as a road car then oe rubber is more than adequate.

As for Miester Rs, there on my shopping list for our mk1, not sure on the sportive bit,

Mr Master Mazda Mender is the top dog on them.

We tested the sportactives for him...very impressed with them as road suspension...they are height adjustable and the feel like they are set to 6 all round the the CRD versions...
