I need to change the bushes on my Octavia vrs petrol 2007. Should I stick to original parts or go for Powerflex road bushes? How does the Powerflex affect refinement?

Any advice would be much appreciated

poly bushes last longer, but are firmer, so depends what you want i guess.

Some of the aftermarket upgrades provide a softer 'shore' bush, that is less harsh.

For the octy mk1 superpro are better imo than powerflex....maybe the case for the mk2 also.

 

This question is better asked in the mk2 octavia forum (as well as general octavia questions), am sure a mod will move it.

Many thanks, I am new to this so did not know about mk2 octavia forum. I will try and move it!

Superpro are good

I had some powerflex front bushes added to mine earlier this year. I hadn't owned it long enough to really draw any comparisons, but they last longer and are cheaper, so don't see any reason not to use them
