Powerflex - any reviews? Worth the ££

[da_murphster]

I'm keen on gettign the handling on my Tuscan sorted once and for all.

I have looked at Powerflex for another car and lots of people said they 'transformed' their cars.

Anyoine any experience on our cars? Its a fair bit of wonga (£250) - can people actually tell the difference?

What does it actaully do - just stiffen everything up a bit?

Anyone? Are these worth £180 if i buy them with protech (deal on)

Current research says prolly not necessary....

If you're going to do them with the Protech it's a good deal. I changed everything at one time so I can't comment on individual components but the car is certainly much more planted now. Not sure which components made the most difference though.

If you're under there, the rose jointed ARB's certainly seem to be a good upgrade pound for pound. I would imagine the Powerflex bushes give them an easier time as the solid bushes will help maintain alignment. I could have that completely arse about face though

It might be £250 for a bush kit, but it'll be 4 times that to have them fitted - unless you DIY.

Wot he said - fitting can be a bummer. But my car (98 Griff) is a lot smoother, and a few nasty squeaks have gone. Well worth it. I fitted my own, but got a local garage to push out the old bits.

Would be happy to DIY (he says ahaving no idea what it entails!)

Is it worth the ££ and effort though.

Prolly not going to bother - APM did not mention anything about my current bushes on the last service.
