Hi.
Have any of you used the 'StrongFlex' suspension bush kits?
They look like the 'PowerFlex' ones but much cheaper .
Click on link and it will take you through to their ebay store.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E30-Full-Susp ... 415630069d
And whilst Im here, does anyone know what diameter my front and rear anti roll bar bush will be?
I have a 1989 325i sport.
Thanks
Also how do I improve handling on car without spending a fortune? someone said changing suspension bushes is a good start so Im going to try these ones I think, anything else that i can do to improve handling and give firmer ride?
Thanks

LOL It was your thread I've just spent the past couple of minutes trying to find http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... t=#2113101Prey wrote:I have some on the way at the moment - according to ups they left poland yesterday - so will report when they get here!
At the price with the guarantee they come with I'd give them a go, I like that they do a set comparable to rubber bushes in hardness.

That's what I thought to compare them to powerflex - powerflex yellow are 70sha, powerflex purple are 80sha - the strongflex red are 80sha and the yellow 90sha - so I've gone for the red - full set with m3 eccentrics and diff mount.
They are really helpful via email and I'm hoping to get my garage sorted out in the next couple of weeks and start to fit them - subframe bushes first!

Why would you get m3 eccentrics (whatever they may be) if you don't have an m3 ? I got a standard sport should I ask for m3 ones too ???
Sorry for making new thread when there was already one on here . Should have searched around

The M3 eccentric front control arm bushes move the wheel forward slightly improving the steering due to dialing in more castor (I think it's castor). The turn in feels sharpersi911t wrote:Why would you get m3 eccentrics (whatever they may be) if you don't have an m3 ? I got a standard sport should I ask for m3 ones too ???

Thanks for that.
You dont by any chance know what diameter the front and rear anti roll bar bushes are ? according to the strongflex ad, there are a few different diameters nd before I order I need to know which ones will be suited for mine.

I'm using them, have been for a while,
and there not as harsh as some that i've had in the past.
they defiantly do the job.
You can even get the little ones to go into the bottom of the front drop links,
and hey presto, they last a meeeeeeelion times longer than replacement links.
