polly bushes

im going to replace my mgf bushes front and rear including the anti roll bar links, should i go with the polly or oem, they do need changing and i will be keeping the car for few years.
are the polly bushes worth the price ?
do they stiffen the suspension up
any feedback would be great on the pollys thanks guys/girls

Even O/E spec new bushes will be better than the old ones you currently have but if you are keeping the car for a while the extra expense of the polybushes is proberbly a good investment.

I'm just about to uplaod a\ "how to" for doing the anti-roll bar bushes

So far, it has made a difference (but thats probably just because the old rubber ones had collapsed!!)

How to now uploaded. really doesn't get much easier

(though my drop link how to shows how it can be a bloody nightmare,are........)

Just updated your link, to reflect your new How tos section

Nice one simon. I didint know I had a section yet :lol:

Will copy older how to's over.

got another on form the weekend to write up. a classic 10 minute job that took my Dad and I 2 hours and involved burning rubber, bolts cutting, using 8 dremmel cutting discs and some swearing.

Took 5 mins for driver side, and then the 2 hours for the passenger side, same job!! God damn chocolate bolt heads!

Take it that you had a bit of bovver with removing the drop links!!!!! You should have taken the ARB off and painted it, was going to say that the lower bolt on the droplinks cannot be removed without splitting the bottom ball joint, but thought you knew this.

The front underside gets a bit rusty, does it not. i think the ARB bush cover plates get flattened by "grounding" one of mine had deep gouges in the flattened plate. look forward to seeing the "How to not do it" :rant:

Yeah, I didint know the top bolt wouldn't come out...that was annoying, especially since it has completely rounded!!!! They are also not easy to saw through with a dremmel!

anyway I have new bottom bolts, and new drop links. And as I couldn't change the top ones, I have two brand new bolts if anyone wants them (unless I can use them at the back)

Never though of painting the ARB, but I have kind of painted it with waxoyl in situ anyway
