subframe bush inserts

[nottsgreent5]

hi all got a set of these off a member of t5d5 took me about an hour to fit them and they have made a massive difference to the handling and ride bare in mind my bushes are 200k plus old really are worth fitting slightly harder ride but makes the car feel a lot sharper very cheap and good mod if you dont fancy changing all four bushes best 17.50 ive spent on it so far lol would recomend these to anyone

Thanks for the review.

I've bought a set and will be installing this weekend, on a p1 V70r and p2 V70r - I'll report back with the findings!

[nottsgreent5]

Use lots of lube and they go in really easy lol

[claymore]

Yep, I've got a set on mine, but I haven't driven the car with them yet.

Where are the bushes from?

A member on T5D5 user name sponge. He has made a mould for these inserts to stiffen up the subframe bushes. I have a set sitting on my coffee table ready to go in. :)

But what you really need are these:

See post #6

Pm sponge on T5D5 and ask him to make you a set.

I'll be running these on standard bushes all around, I hope they still stiffen things up.

Do you guys recommend poly bushing the p1?

I'd recommend polybushing ANYTHING mate! The difference is immediately noticeable.

Ive done my wishbones top mount and subframe rides alot more direct and responsive and harder but its transformed my car well worth doing

[The White Knight]

I polybushed my s60 d5 and didn't really experience much improvement, it handled like a boat before and handled like a boat after!

It's not a quick and easy job either....

will have mine next week lol.....:bounce:

These inserts are well worth it, made a big difference and really tightened up the steering feel.

Depends how far you go with it. I did the wishbones, strut brace and most of the engine mounts and it made a big difference. The new springs and shocks sealed the deal. Not the smooth luxurious ride it was but it handles like a car half it's size now :D

will have mine next week lol.....:bounce:
And me

[PHIL V70R]

[graemewelch]

[nottsgreent5]

Think theres a list on t5d5 of which ones they fit mate

[kfc]

well finaly got around fitting mine, and did the lower tourque bar at the same time. does feel better i think. but what a noise or should i say racket. we'll have to see how we get on with it to see i keep it on.
