Hj,
I'm looking for a full polybush kit and was wondering what other people are running and what would be advised.
Thanks

Only time i have used poly is on fatter ARB bushes when they are oversized and can't be bought..
OEM type bushes are perfectly capable and half price so what's the point ?

As above! OE are frictionless bearings (ARB excepted). Poly introduces unwanted friction.DanThe wrote:Best advice I can give is to not use poly

For your road car Matt the only place poly bushes are of benefit are ARB and trailing arms

Don't do it
Ruin the ride
Use OEM/BMW M3 bushes
