HiPurVR6 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I have a '97 n5 door Highline as my day runner. I want to sort out the quality of the ride so I was thinking of a full set of Powerflex bushes and Koni top adjustables.Good set-up or not? What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites

kempj1 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Phil, I have a 97 5dr too. I went for koni top adjustables on the front and oem sachs/boge on the back. I thik it's made a good difference, especially when you can stiffen the front end when you feel like it. I'm living in Sweden now and in the winter it's on soft setting most of the time. When I get my summer tyres on though, it'll be set to 1/4 turn from max stiffness. I didn't go for a stiffer rear ARB yet, just sorted the camber settings on the front to make the nose grip more. -1degree40sec makes a big difference.BTW I am running original springs because I did not want to loose any ride quality and ground clearance (which has recently become vital, with shit loads of snow around). I think you may find powerflex bushes can harm ride quality. I have no experience of this though...Good luck! James K Link to post Share on other sites
HiPurVR6 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Cheers for that James. Does anyone else have an opinion on the ride quality of powerflex bushes? *-) Link to post Share on other sites
blackmagicvr 7 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 replaced by bottom arm bushes with powerflex,after trashing two standard arms in 6000k, east to fit,massive difference in handling,and no difference in ride quality. Link to post Share on other sites
