very promising thus far, but i also had Apex lowering springs (by 15mm) also, so haven't really had a chance as such to thoroughly test car! However, the car does feel a lot stiffer, that's for sure! When i go over Sheffield's SH*T rods, my undercarriage doesn't sound and feel like it's going to drop off now!!  :fighting:

So yes, i believe this has been a worthwhile mod, and at a very competitive price no doubt!!

....Well, at least you know you are in very good hands at Statller. I reckon they'll hopefully either be SuperPro or PolyBush - Both very good.

if they were supplied by statller they will more than likely be polybush as thats what i am having fitted.

Yeap, just this minute heard that they are Polybush! The fact that my clutch slips now when i plant my right foot (in low revs) in 5th and 6th tells me just how much more it's sticking to the road now!! Feels like i've found a quid and then lost 50p, although if/when i replace said clutch i will be losing a damned sight more than 50p!!??  :sad1:

I cant comment on the salk but the walk i can. Walk was great when it was new but now 10 months on its fooked.

My car is currently at statllers being fully polybushed and steve rang me to tell me that there was play in the walk kit. To say they have only been on the car 10 months and this has happened is a joke. I have contacted the supplier who sold me the kit and he has told me he will email them as he has not heard anything kike this before. I was sure that i had heard things like this happening before and now this thread has confirmed it.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of warranty with these or is it a case of not being able to warrant something like this because of wear and tear. Tbh it is an upgraded part so i would expect it to last longer than has done.

Mind me asking the supplier cause I reported mine to my supplier and a new pair of bushes was around 70 quid (PM if you want)
