Ok so i'm fairly new to the mk5 handling mod game, i recently fitted the Powerflex anti lift kit after being initially very happy they are becoming more wearing on me and making things jolt more over bumps.

i was in the workshop at the weekend and noticed my old golf consoles / bushes sat next to my touran bushes and the touran ones look a lot more sturdy.

does anyone have pics of the S3 bush?

my idea now is to press an OEM bush into the offset powerflex bracket so it'll be kind of OEM anti lift  :grin:

thanks  :happy2:

I think the s3 bushes are solid. I ended up buying Powerflex anti lift kit instead as it was on offer when 1st released.

Daz, the picture shows the TT at the top (S3 has the same bush, but different console), the middle is what I call the Seat Leon/Altea bush (they are the only cars I've seen them on), then the bottom is the GTi / everything else.

Thanks mate found the pic/description on Vortex didn't expect it to be wrong.
