Superpro (a brand by Fulcrum) are the only way to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke them tyres Member 557 Member For: 17y 2d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 14/02/10 11:37 AM Share Posted 14/02/10 11:37 AM Fitting all poly to the front has tightened up the chassis in mine immeasurably...and the noise increase is only marginal and still within acceptable limits. Well worth the trade off. Look forward to doing the rear.Tyre life has also improved dramatically as the suspension now has a hope in hell of keeping the wheel alignment to spec under dynamic loads, although the rear is not bad at all in that respect. To fit rubber in the diff area with the loads it generates is a huge ask and can only lead to trouble. To have the poly bushes last the life of the car is an additional bonus.
