Bushes
« on: April 15, 2010, 10:53:34 pm »
My car has eibach pro springs with adjustable yellow koni shocks, I'm fitting the green gladersite arb bushes to the front and also got rear bushes but unsure weather or not to fit the rears as it's a very firm ride already, I take it the rears will make it mega firm?

I think the general concensus is that new O.E. rubber rear beam bushes are fine for all but out and out track/race cars.

Thanks, I will just replace with stock bushes then, upon instalation of the beam is there any special setting up procedure or is it just a case of wacking the beam on with new bushes?

You can simply bolt it back on, no setting up is needed. Wait until the car is back on the ground before fully tightening (30 lb ft torque) the pivot bolts.
