That's a worrying question.
Why not just try the Audi TT roadster ones. There stiff as but still rubber

i have read most the treads about bushes on here and the tt 1 seems to be best but im getting a bush kit probably cause im lazy:redface:

tbh id stay away from aseller that doesnt know the wishbone sizes.

theres only one size and they fit all the mk4 platform.


just order them from vw spares, and as above go for the tt rear wishbone bush and oem front.

I had this problem last week, and not with some cheap bush's off ebay but with Powerflex.

They seem to list 2 sizes that can fit the MK1 Cupra/FR, and refer to the 45mm one as being for the later cars.

I have one of the last MK1 FR's so bought the 45mm bush's to find that there is no way it was goin to fit the wishbone and isn't much smaller than the OD of the wishbone itself.

Turns out the 'later cars' refers to TT's.

I put the lemforder ones on my lc and they seemed a good product, the problem with things like powerflex is they can be too firm and give no movement which can have an adverse affect in the wrong set up, suspension set up is a science of trial and error, aswell as function verses comfort
