Super Pro bushing kits

Postby spikes » Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:32 pm

Does anybody know of where I can source a Super Pro kit for a NA6 for cheap, ie anybody sponsors and specials going around? Not really prepared to pay $750 from MX5mania for just the front a rear bushings.

I hate Energy Suspension, bad experiences with them squeaking even still with plenty of that white nasty grease. Flo-Flex, I've heard they're just sh*t.

Super Pros are expensive yes, but I also believe they are worth it

They're pretty cheap compared.

Is there an option somewhere for a full kit of OEM rubber?
I heard somewhere that these types of suspension components always tend to squeak??

Mazdaspeed in the States supply standard and stiffish OEM style bushings. I can't find a price now but I remember seeing about $1,200 for a full Mazdaspeed set a while back.

It's not really a bad option. The problem with poly bushes is that all of them require regular lubrication, despite anything the suppliers may say to the contrary. The only effective way of doing this is by removing, cleaning and regreasing each bush with the horrible sticky stuff. On the plus side poly bushes give crisp, precise suspension control.

Good advice.
