Definitely check those ones! The rose bushes (mounts) can develop a lot of slop in them very quick. I had mine cut off by Bilstein Motorsport and small diameter rubber bushes put back on, which I then swapped for poly bushes. Problem fixed but expensive. Grit chops those mounts out quickly.Quote:

Prothane make Poly Bushes to suit the Billies and they will be coming soon. 19-920 is the part number of the top of my head.
My only problem ATM is the online suppliers list a rediculous postage cost for the Prothane bushes. Something like $50 for $10 bushes. I think it's one kit per shock so only $40 worth of bushes but I just need to find a supply who will send them at a reasonable cost.
I know the Watts is the worst so I'm just starting with that.

That said, with the watts Ive always just used OE parts - thats not to comment on whether they are best or worst though.
Yeah seems I'm going out on a limb to be the guinea pig here. I can clearly see how the standard bushed are pressed in with the steel outers but the Flo-Flex bushes appear to have poly shoulder/skirt that protrudes out over the steel outer. maybe the poly part is removable to press them in? I guess I'll find out soon enough.Quote:
