    Koni bush replacement.

    I need to replace all the bushes on my shocks, are there generic ones I can use instead of genuine koni?

    Went to Supercheap, Repco and Autobarn and nothing in stock. Will probably need to order them in.

    Even though I have Superpro bushes almost everywhere throughout my 130, I've stayed away from poly suspension bushes due to other reports here saying they're too stiff. If they rode well, and lasted longer than the rubber bushes seem to, I'd be happy to fork out the extra dollars.

    But superpro are suspension bushes ?
    I won't use poly anywhere except the panhard rod. On the shocks I would if they were a soft compound.

    Oops, I meant to say shock bushes. Don't want to get into a debate regarding poly bushes, this has been done in plenty of other threads.
