E30 Zone

I want to change all my wishbone bushes back and front soon and wanted to know if power flex buses are the best to use? If so where is the best place to get them?

Powerflex will last for ever and are easy to fit. The problem with them is they are rock hard.

BMW M3 eccentric rear control arm bushes, and lemforder from ECP for the rest is my prefered set up. Tight and direct stearing, with loads of feeback.

Just my opinion though

as above.

it depends what you want from the car too.

i've always been very happy with powerflex stuff on various cars, but i accept there is a slight comfort / 'noise' trade off. if you want it to feel like a new e30 should, fit oem spec rubber bushes, if you want it to feel that bit sharper and are happy to accept the compromises stiffer bushes bring, then fit powerflex.

What Harry said, I have powerflex on the Cab, and all my bushes are powerflex, you do get some road noise, but with the hood down you can't notice it.
Car does feel sharper though

I'll probably get the Lemforder ones then. How do they compare to OE? And how much are they compared to BMW?

Lemforder are oe.

I've literally just ordered a full set of 80sha strongflex polybushes - will be fitting them in a couple of weeks so will report back on here.
