Which sets did you end up ordering for yours Alan?

I need to email Alias ,he got me them direct

Cheers. Just want to price it up as it's on my spring 'to do' list

Or I might go to him and get everything done in one hit, as I need alignment checking

When...? :p Let me know when you want to pop in for initial check.

The walls have ears

Will give you a shout. Pretty certain it needs adjustment, plus Manchester to Leeds just for an 'initial check' is a bit of a trip

Superpro are much better engineered IMO

Just better than OEM or better than Powerflex?

I fitted the OE bushes from off an S3 / TT mk2. They are a solid bush design and very firm but with no extra vibration through the steering wheel.

The thing is he checks out everything with a stethescope to see which are worn , you may not nee a full sett, either that or go for 1st thing and then he can replace the worn bushes

Just better than OEM or better than Powerflex?

Better than power flex - far superior material and steel inserts

Just a thought - do you already have anti lift? Because superpro do an off centre bush which does the same

OK, good to know. No, don't have anti-lift. Bushes are all standard and could well be original! Just the springs and dampers I've swapped.

Got a link to the Superpro anti-lift offering?

Here you go fella

SPF3273K List Price £83.97 plus VAT

Front Control Arm, Rear Bush Kit With Anti Lift

As per the SPF3271K this improved design bush will out last OEM bushes significantly however, these bushes have been designed with an offset mounting. This allows for a greater caster angle to be achieved cutting down on wheel hop and spin.

 

Comes with SuperPro's unrivalled 3 Year, 36,000 Mile Warranty.

 

This bush kit is also available in car sets KIT5229ADJK.

Basically they are 'castor bushes' but by Aligning them in the low position they give anti lift.

On a standard road car it may be worth while using them to get caster instead of going to TT lower arms? Worth talking to the guys at SP as one of them runs a fwd 8p Audi a3 as his own motor/test bench

Great stuff - thanks for the info
