It appears that someone has produced replacement rubber bushes for the front control arms

Any thoughts? It could be an iteresting alternative to PollyBronse or Superpro

I ordered a set yesterday. I am curious how difficult the install will be. They will replace the current polybronze setup which were not exactly maintenance and wear free.

Peter - is that the Elephant set up you are using?
I'm curious as I'm contemplating stripping out the front suspension over this winter for a complete refurb.

Has anyone actually bought and fitted these?
Any updates?

Polybronz require grease every 3000 miles or 5000 kms.
So far, no problem in my car.

I bought and fitted the rubber bushings. The process was not to difficult (using a shop press). Nothing particular to mention about the ride quality. As I have only a few hundred miles on them there is also little to mention on longevity

Thanks Peter, I'm thinking i'll go with them also.
What are you running on the rear sping plates.
I see that Elephant has rubber for the rear.

for the rear I used the rubber bushing from mittelmotor. They seem to be a bit firmer than the neatrix bushings I have on my targa.
