I can guarantee before Robin hits 200,000 miles he will have tried another chassis upgrade :P

....And I can guarantee that before you hit another 200 miles you will have done another mod :P
I look forward to reading how you have found your poly bushings after fitting. :happy2:

Good write up Robin,
I want them on my mk2 leon cupra at some stage

I enjoyed reading your review. Sounds like a very worthwhile upgrade which I will now consider at some juncture, based on the strength of your post.
Keep up the good work :smiley:

Hi PJ :happy2: [Love your Poppy sig - I have a big silk Poppy permanently on my dashboard]
When I write a review it's of course after I have bought the product and having gone as far as deciding to buy something I am naturally pleased and hence enthusiastic about it. The seductive temptress is always Miss Placebo who does everything to justify my expenditure (and encourages me to spend even more!). Consequently I always very consciously do my utmost to write about the product objectively. I really enjoy writing.
I sometimes get a little concerned when someone spends their hard earned money as a result of just my review! But, as I said in this bushes review, for a high mileage car and one which the owner enjoys handling mods, it is indeed a very worthwhile upgrade although relatively subtle. On the other hand, if someone has the funds available and wants the benefits of a mod, the mileage doesn't matter - A friend of mine installed a Quaife diff and full polyurethane bushes very soon after he bought his GTI new! But his other car is a Lotus and I think he wanted to achieve the best handling he could.

Hi,
sorry for digging this thread outm but I need an advice... I've had a full superpro bushes kit installed. The kit I had installed is a road kit with antilift.
The car is more confortable than before, less crashy, turn in is more positive (I feel I have to rotate the steering wheel less to steer the same amount), grip is improved in corners. BUT I feel the car is more twitchy on highways (at around 100mph on very rough highways, I'm in Bulgaria) : I feel the rear of the car is less precise. Funny enough, when I don't tuch the steering wheel the car is very stable, when I touch the wheel the car feels twitchy.
So now, do you know which kit you had installed (road or track)? Is it possible the road kit is softer than the OEM bushes? Is it normal the car feels more twitchy with a SALK?
Honestly the car feels fantastic in the twists. The missus was with me so I didn't push too hard, but the cars feels like the limits are further than before.
Thanks!
Julien
