Hello everyone from Spain once again. As some of you know, my 2002 RS 1U2 has adjustable Koni Sport shock absorbers (yellow) and H&R springs, and now I have a question regarding Powerflex bushings for my RS 1U2. With each oil change or when I took it to the garage, I've been installing Powerflex polyurethane bushings to try and eliminate a metallic noise coming from the car, thinking it might be from the steering knuckle, stabilizer bars, control arms, etc. It turns out it's most likely the front strut mounts, so I've decided to order these bushings. There are two options: PFF85-431, which would lower the car by another 10mm, and PFF85-430, which would maintain the current ride height. Has anyone tried these bushings? Are there any photos to show the difference before and after installation? I'd also like to know (since I have no idea about this) how many pins the xenon headlight has and how many the halogen headlight with electric adjustment has, to see if, besides Stagemorion or Kufatec, there are other more affordable options for getting an adapter wiring harness. I also need to know the part number for the secondary air pump, as I don't want to disable it and it makes a lot of noise, especially when starting from cold.

I'm leaving you some photos of my car so you can see the current height with the Seat Leon Cupra 1m silent blocks that I installed some time ago (although I've been looking at it and it's almost imperceptible, but it's lower on the left side than on the right, probably because it's in bad condition, hence why I want to change them).

Here are the other Powerflex silentblocks I've already installed, along with part numbers for the Koni Sport shock absorbers.

Koni sport rear : 80-2761

Koni sport front : 8710-1377

You may be able to fix the secondary air pump noise by drilling out the rivets and replacing them with bolts. Pretty simple job. I've done it on both my Octavias. I think there's a step-by-step guide on the UK MKIVs site.

I used these PFF85-431BLK worked well, did lower a little bit more, not got any pictures of my old old Octavia.

Air pump as above drill out the rivets and replace with nuts and bolts, from memory think i used M5 x 50, worked for a while, junked it in the end, live with the noise, it's only on start up, or junk it.
