Oh, suspension bushes!

I thought you were talking about tail-happy 911 vs. hedgerow incidents on rural highways!

I'll get my coat...

Two places with lots of experience upgrading the bushes on CSLs and M3s - Simpson Motorsport (who race prepare a CSL for the Britcar championship and who've developed their own bushes to improve on those from Powerflex), and Thorney Motorsport, based in Milton Keynes who run their own car fitted with many useful upgrades including the rear bushes.

For Simpsons Motorsport call 01594 841299 and ask for Anthony Mott or Julian Smith.

For Thorney Motorsport call 01908 238 798 and ask for John Thorne (www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/ )
