Big Mark Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I fitted Strongflex. I went for the Red ones, but they do even stiffer Yellow ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Serious question, does the changing of sub frame bushes offer any benefits that are tangible, like better power delivery reducing launch times to 60 and less roll in cornering? What would be the benefit of poly bushes that couldn't say be bettered by a more rigid or an adjustable anti-roll bar? Poly bushes do apparently last longer than OE rubber bushes but with a good many Supra's still running around on their original bushes after 25+ years is that even an issue? You see lots of claims by the manufacturers of its quieter, they lose camber less so the suspension geometry is maintained better in corners, less vibrations, longer life. But, there is never any road or lab data provided by anyone to back up these claims. Hey, they are purple - that means they must be better, and as for the red ones they are only bettered by yellow.

I went for the yellow ones as I'm Na-t and had only one from factory. I went for them cause they're cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I changed mine for the strong flex red. 25 year old rubber is going to fail at some point. I would say the car felt alot sharper after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 There must be something to it then. I changed my 21 year rubber bushes for new rubber bushes and it didn't feel any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam27 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I went from worn oem rubber bushes to fully poly bushed. Mostly strongflex yellow but some superpro purple, the feel and handling of the car is much better, more direct. The ride isn't harsh either which was a pleasant surprise.
