Poly Subframe Bushes

[Theo]

What are peoples experiences with these on the track? Anyone encountered negative effects from fitting them?

[JimmyC]

nope, only seen negative things from the control arm, new design powerflex bushes

[Theo]

Ok, think I may give them ago rather than new BMW bushes then.

Dips just fitted a complete set to our 318 and it definitely tightens the whole lot up a lot, no back end wander under heaving braking / change down now either... would defo do it if your old ones are tired..

I use them on my race cars and have never had any problems... I'm also a distributor!

Hi M3GTR,

Can you tell me what the difference is between the purple and black rear subframe bushes are?alot stiffer??? there's a big price difference on thease two items. i need to replace the standard ones on my car for when i sell it or keep it, but if i don't sell it i'll be doing alot of drifting/track days with it.

any help regarding thease items would be a great help.

Andy.

I've been thinking of doing this too on the rear of my touring and have been reading different ideas on using poly bushes.

Im sure i read but cant find again that there is one set on the rear that is best to change for standard bushes and not poly as they can make the rear a bit twitchy ? ? ?

Any ideas . . .

Cheer for the offer mate, but this thread is from March - I've since fitted the subframe bushes along with poly engine, gearbox and diff mounts. Very pleased with the result.

[Theo]

I fitted purple ones.
