Uprated springs or polybushes??

(1/3) > >>

Bob:
OK.  Having decided to go the jack-mates route for front recovery (thanks for all the replies) I now have another question.

As yet another birthday follows shortly after the LRO show at P'boro I have liberated sufficient funds to treat myself to either uprated springs (std ride height for towing) or orange polybushes.

Which would be the better way to go as I can't afford to do both just now.

Bush Tucker Man:
I'll be keeping an eye on this one as well Bob, as I'll very shortly be in the market for new springs, shocks & probably bushes as well.
Again standard ride height, but possibly heavy-duty, and for same reasons as you - towing a 'Big White Shed On Wheels'

Does anyone know if the HD Discovery springs that John Craddocks advertise come in pairs, or as a set of 4? (like the Range Rover ones)

George the Disco:
I'm running Deflex bushes which are rated between the orange and the red. Since they only cost iro £58 from Paddocks you should have some spending money left for springs  :D  8)

Bob:
Chris.

How long have you had the Deflex bushes fitted and how do you rate them.

I like the idea of having some cash now for springs as well  :D

George the Disco:
Fitted them in June. Seem to be very good although they are quite hard. Not that I can really judge what the feel like compaired to a standard 200tdi with new springs and shocks and 182.5k miles under its belt!

One thing I would say though and thats don't skimp when buying your shocks. I bought the cheapest (had to at the time) I could @ £15ea and they really aren't up to much.
