I've just ordered control arm front and rear bushings and lower torque rod bushing from the Powerflex Black Series range for the T5. MRP has kindly offered to assist me in the fitting of the control arm bushings to the control arms I got from Norfolk Volvo Spares and get them fitted to the car (photos will no doubt be taken ). The Lower Torque rod I can do myself.
I know a lot of people feel the Black Series is too harsh for normal road use but I disagree because I actually want the hardest ride and best chassis/geometry control I can get. I've no doubt the extra 'shock' will wear out other suspension components more quickly which is why I'm also going to order some uprated HD Drop Links from Parts for Volvos.
I really want Powerflex to launch a range of rear bushes in the Black Series, now that would give the flattest cornering ever!
I'll update this thread as things arrive and get fitted!
