Who has replaced the bushes on your car?

60,000 Km is not excessive Ks on Koni shocks and they can rebuilt if required. Some people find the koni/king setup quite hard. People have reported a good compromise using koni/OEM springs. I have had the koni/king setup and am now running Tein flex, adjustable sway bars and super-pro bushes. I live in the SE suburbs if you want to see what my setup feels like.

Thanks for the ride Juffa

I am now leaning towards using the same set of bushes.

An offtopic question: has anyone from this forums been at the intersection of springvale and ferntree gully roads today at around 3.20pm? Saw 2 cars - a red NA with SSR mark2's and a silver NB

Takes a solid day for each car if you have at least 2 people, a car hoist, a hydraulic press and all the right tools.

The only things that were difficult were the differential arm bushes, all the others were relatively straighforward.

They bought their kits from 949 Racing over in the US and they were the Energy Suspension bushes.

Hi Mr Starlet and GP14... I would love to get some feedback on the ease of fitting and quality of ride with the 949 Racing bushes. There are obviously conflicting opinions of the SuperPro's, however no one has to my knowledge done a write-up on the cheaper ebay option... really appreciate it if you can assist! :wink:

Thanks and regards,
Dave

Send them a PM Dave, they don't frequent the forums too often these days.

I looked at the ebay bushes also. They are 80 shore hardness - probably too hard for our roads - also unlike super pro all bushes are of the same hardness so dont give the optimum performance.
