Polybush Fitting where and how much? Wales

[Chamber66]

Looking for somewhere to fit a full set of polybushes in S. Wales.
What sort of price will I be looking at for this?

They can give a very harsh ride.

OK, you didn't say. I would suggest most on here do their own unless a visit to Zedshed HQ is arranged. Hopefully someone who has done it through an Indy will shout up soon.

Hope you find what you're looking for but personally I wouldn't go that route unless you plan on track use. If you're planning on replacing all bushes use OEM for a much nicer ride. And also consider the majority of them will be original parts from new and have lasted around 20 years.

Poly bushes do not produce a harsh ride! The springs and dampers are the key to ride quality. My car has lots of small changes to improve handling, and with Bilstien Sprintline dampers and Eibach springs on the front (standard rears to maintain ground clearance) it has a very good ride quality. In comparison to a Z4 Alpina it is far more comfortable on rural French roads.

My Powerflex poly bushes did not make any difference in ride quality, and If you have 17 inch wheels they stop the usual so-called 'Bump steer,' which is caused by the original gapped rubber wishbone bushes, which compress sideways in response to loads on the tyres - probably the best change I have ever made.
If you want to go the OEM route, use the bushes from an M3/M Roadster, which are almost solid rubber.

I live in the Dordogne, but am thinking about returning to the UK - France is a far better country to live in, but the UK is better to die it, thanks to the more lenient Inheritance Tax regime. I am not thinking about dieing soon, but you never know!

Ahh, but you have to live with the French!
