Anyone running superpro bushings on their FD and can provide a review on the ride quality? I am looking at buying a set of superpro's to replace my stock bushings which have about 155,xxx miles on them... My car will be primarily street driven with the occasional track day...

 

I'd honestly stick with the stockers. They are fine for a couple places like the diff mount and steering rack mount but for a primarily street driven car they are a bit harsh and they don't seal out debris as well and can wear faster.

 

Stock bushings are expensive. Is there another alternative aside from Super pro that would be less harsh?

 

Weren't you looking into bushings about 2 years ago?

There is also Powerflex. To be honest, I've heard/read good and bad things about both Superpro and Powerflex bushings. I think ride comfort should be expected to be altered when going to anything other than stock. However, the bigger complaints I've heard about Superpro is the noise. I'm not sure because more people bought Superpro so the sampling is larger, or if Powerflex is actually better from that perspective.

 

I was looking into bushings 2 years ago =)

Unfortunately, I was distracted by work and other life events and modding my RX7 sat in the backburner with the car just sitting in my garage the last few years. Now that I have more time, I want to pick up where I left off and start playing with the 7 again =)

Anyone know how much a stock set of bushings cost?

Thanks Barban!

 

I've been running SuperPro bushings for like 6 years now on my dual purpose FD and haven't had a squeak from them since installing them. I haven't taken them apart to re-lube them nor done maintenance to them in any way and have been very happy with their performance over the years. As far as ride quality goes, you'll notice the chassis a bit stiffer but honestly the ride quality isnt affected very much at all and there's minimal noise in the cabin as a result of the poly bushings. They're perfectly suitable for a daily driver. I've installed these on many street cars and the feedback has been 100% positive over the years even after following up with local customers years later.

 

I have poly bushings on my rx7. I can't really tell a difference from stock. I know it did tighten up some, but the bushings were pretty old and tired.

 

Best investment I've ever made in my FD. . .first thing I would do again in a heartbeat, makes the car feel fresh again. . .

 

I fitted superpro front and rear- no problems so far.
