Anyone ever got poly bushes for a 325 sport? Power flex supply 14mm or 16mm bushes for the anti-roll bar, yet the rear anti-roll bar on a sport is 14.5mm!

anyone ever found a way around this or enlighten me plz!

Used Poly bushes many times now.

The eccentric control arm ones are a must.

The anti roll bar ones - I will speak to them tommorrow and ask what the score is on this.

The rear subframe ones are not really ideal for road use unless you want alot of vibration and noise. Excellent handling though! Really for track use only I would say.

You would have sooo hated the subframe bushes!!

Will have an answer on the ARB bushes.

Why not buy an Anti Roll Bar kit like the H&R 22mm front and 18mm rear? They come with toughened bushes + you get superb handling.
