suspension bushes

[shepv8]

Hi all,
Im looking to buy a kit to rebush my MK2 RS. My 2 options are red nolathanes and the blue super pro's. I dont know much about either and its only a street car, not a race car. Im thinking either will do the job, really just after any experience or advice for one brand over the other.
Cheers
Shep

I think the red ones are a bit softer, so probably better for a road car. Get rid of the rubber...............what were you thinking Scott???

It has it's merits for a road car, especially the roads around here which are sheit, allows a bit more give and will not squeak like some harder bushes can.

Not for a racecar though.

Also depends on how you want to drive it too.

I've also seen the hard bushes wear suspension bolts dangerously thin when they weren't designed to be installed with crush tubes.

I've put Superpro (Blue) ones in my daily drive car and it gives me no hassles or noises etc. Anyone I spoke to recommended steering clear of the Nolethane (Red) ones.

I ended up getting the Superpro complete front end rebush kit. Should fix up some alignment woes!
