AjayM - thank you for the compliments, I've never been into modifying a car so its loud and lairy, I'm keen on keeping the car as factory look as possible. Its been an expensive and time consuming excercise but thats it! As I'm gonna be a dad in a few months time my priorities have changed and the modding bug has disappeared. If you need any help or advice with regards to your car or any mods you're planning please feel free to give me a shout.
Thank you
Kabir

Rear beam mount bush was upgraded a few months ago

Never realised how much difference they'd make
Haven't got the rear ones yet though

Do they make much of a difference?

Ben / Telwick - I had the rear beam mount bushes fitted a few months ago and I can honestly say I couldn't tell any difference. I've only had the front kit fitted for one day, I need to get the bushes bedded in before getting the allignment sorted out at the weekend. I've had Powerflex bushes fitted to my previous Foez and it does make the suspension a little more stiffer. My understanding of these is its a good addition to have if you've changed your suspension and made your car lower, after a while the factory wishbones do wear away, any way I will tell you how much of a difference the bushes have made in a week/two.
