When i fit my H&R sus kit im gonna fit new bushes and top mounts all round also, to tighten things up a treat, now my question is do i stick with BMW ones, GSF etc ones or go for Power/Superflex ones? Cost isnt a huge issue, but i'd like to keep it down if you see what i mean..
Not too bothered by a slighty harsh ride, but dont want the car jumping all over the British B roads (pot holes etc) as that will ruin the handling fluency
Also how much am i lookin at forking out for the bushes from the respective places?

If you can afford it get the parts from BMW they have better warranty. But the front top mounts can be bought from GSF, you will need to buy bigger dust caps from bmw for them tho.

BMW bushes have a better warranty than the Powerflex bushes...? I didn't know that...
"POWERFLEX bushes are not affected by ultra-violet, petrol, oil, battery acid, water or time."
Surely that's better than a BMW warranty... I would think. Rubber will perish, while the Polyurethane bushes will last much longer...
Go for Powerflex bushes. I've got them on both my cars and they make a lot of difference!
