Hi
I want to replace the bushes front and back on the FD which ones are the ones to go for Powerflex,Super Pro or another???
What do you recommend?

We are quite experienced in replacing the bushes for the FD.
Here is a Rex we did earlier.
We use the powerflex range, having worked with them over the last 6 months they now offer the most comprehensive range of bushes, having covered every bush on the car.
As you can see we offer a clean up service, and can replace the pillow ball bushes as well as the boots...bringing the wishbones back to almost new!

Please note we do offer replacement bushes for the toe links...they werent ready at the time of initially mounting the wishbones.
Thatll be my car and photo then ;) :)
Yup, all those are on - first reports are very good - car rides very taughtly but without a huge increase in NVH - just what I was after for a fast road car.
A couple of friends have commented on the fact there\'s a lot less noise than expected - the difference was a lot less noticeable than when we polybushed my friend\'s Eunos with Superflex\'s.
I\'ll be posting up a proper report soon, but it\'s not fair to do it until the bushes have settled and the car\'s been aligned, which should be within the next couple of weeks - I\'ve got to scrape the funds together first!
Is this same service available for FC Turbo II\'s? Whats the cost?
I recently replaced all the bushes with powerflex ones and bought a set of front upper and lower wishbones from a 20k mile car, the balljoints were still fairly stiff compared to the worn out ones on my original parts.
Combined with a set of tein super streets the difference is astonishing as i have also spent alot of time sound deadening and sorting out interior rattles and squeaks.
IMHO replacing all the worn suspension parts is the best thing you can do to an FD.
