I have been offered the opportunity to test a set of NEW bushes from Polybush
Here is some information from Polybush
We set out with a clean sheet of paper when designing the kit - and, because there are already a number of polybush kits available for the car, our first decision was to go for a no-compromise design which would perform better than anything else out there, rubber or polyurethane.
This meant we had to go for bonded construction for most of the bushes. these fit in the same way as the original bushes, and ensure that suspension movement is controlled purely by the flex in the material, rather than by a combination of flex and slippage between the poly around it's centre tube, which leads to inconsistent control - for instance if water gets between the two, besides causing corrosion and wear, the response of the bush will be significantly altered as water acts as a lubricant.
The Polyurethane we use has relatively high resilience - this means it keeps it's shape well - again ensuring that suspension settings remain constant over a period of time, and also maintaining alignment angles under high loadings.
All these things mean the car is more predictable and rewarding to drive, even using manufacturer standard ride heights and suspension settings. Racing brings out the best in the bushes of course, but they are pretty useful on road as well.
I know they have had very good feedback from Evo drivers and i will report my finding on the Scoob. Fingers crossed these should be fitted for the first round at Donnington.
