Poly bush and lowering kit recommendation

Postby 96festy on Tue Jun 08, 2010 10:25 pm

As the title says, can anyone recommend a company that does a decent poly bush kit for a mk3.5 fiesta, 94-96?

I was talkin to the lads at rally design in santa pod at the weekend, and they only really do the rear beam bushes

and is there a place that does upgraded bottom arms for the front suspension with stiffer ball joints and bushes, mine are fairly screwed and knackered :( :(

thanks guys :D :D

If you just want springs go for Gmax or if you want to spend a little more have a look at Spax springs.

Spax do very good uprated shocks kits aswell.

the cheapest i'd go for springs is the g-max kit,
had that myself years ago and it did the job well

as for bushes i'd go for powerflex and nothing else,
the other cheap companys come and go over the years
heard/read a fair share of horror stories for them aswell with gearbox bushes etc riping through

Can it be used to lower a dodge challenger? Are all lowering kits the same? Thanks.
