Hi

Thank you for your quick response

I am actually the sales manager at Powerflex and i thought i would pass this information on for you guys to look at.

Unfortunately we do not deal direct but any trade specialist or customer will be able to order this for you

After testing they have made an amazing difference sharper handling better cornering and all round better response when driving.

Yes all the bushes are made out of top grade polyurethane

i will get some pictures together and post on here later in the week

our US dealer is www.powerflexusa.com but he prob wont even know we do them yet as we only finished the final testing over the weekend

all bushes are supplied with a copper slip lubrication, the bushes we design and make are not rock solid but allow some movement for better drive ability

if i get enough interest i might set uo a group buy for you guys in the US but will see

This is awesome - there are VERY few options on bushings for the FD. This will really be nicely filling a need the community has!

Any idea when the US distributor will have info/pricing/stock?

Cool, there are very few affordable options for bushings out there. The full kit works out to be aroun $560. Not too bad.

Oh wow, your USA dealer is very close to me.

Interest here as well.

Your site doesn’t list these yet, when will details be available on this specific kit?

What shore ratings are these going to be available in?

Color availability? Black preferred.

Looks like they will be purple, but I never understood why people care what color their bushings are.

What about the outer bushing on the upper rear arms?

Also the rear LCAs have one inner bushing each.

Are these not included?

Its not that big of an issue, but I would rather have a choice of black than something outlandish or gimmicky.

Their site states color avalibility, so i am petitioning from the get go we choose black

personal preference….that and black is a lot faster than purple which everyone knows.

That is a pillow ball and should not be replaced with a urethane bushing.

That is a pillow ball suspended in rubber, and should not be replaced with a urethane bushing.

I would like to have the zerk fitting question answered. You mentioned copper slip lubrication, but didnt really give a straightforward answer.

thanks!

Hi Guys

ok

The colours determin the hardness of each bush

Yellow - Shore 70
Purple - Shore 80
Black - Shore 95

We test each bush and decide what the hardness needs to be when we see the results

Sorry the first post is a missprint rear kit should be 5,6,7,8

Anymore info please feel free to PM me
