1990 1 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 For my 128000 miler?Aparently powerflex are better than standard without being as harsh as the ???(red urathene ones from GCC).What have you got and how do you rate them? Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 no, powerflex are the only ones available for the vr6 afaik.they do make everything a little stiffer, you get a little more road noise, but there comes a point where the old ones are so worn out that you don't have a choice.you could put new o.e. ones on, but you'll need the special pressing in tool. could just buy new wishbones for the front (£50 each from vw with bushes already fitted) Link to post Share on other sites

VRooom 0 Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 my mate had plolys on his mk3 gti, they squeeked!I managed to have a go on it the ride was stiffer or tigter, but I thought it made the handling kinda figity, I had the same kinda thing on my mk2, so I personly wont fit them ever again 4 what they do, and the time and hassel to fit them, I fitted o.e ones on when I did all my eibach suspension and roll bars Link to post Share on other sites
