Yep, Powerflex. I dont think it really matters much.

I have Powerflex for:
-Droplinks
-Steering rack
-Front and back Dogbone
-Front ARB bushings
-Rear Axle beam bushings

SuperPro for
-Front and back wishbone bushings

Whiteline for
-Rear ARB

I'm going to be getting

Powerflow - droplinks
Super pro - Steering rack
superpro - Front and back Dogbone
powerflow - front ARB bushings
Superflow - Rear Axle beam bushings
Superpro- front and back wishbone bushings
superpro - rear ARB

But that's all subject to change. Want the back a bit tighter than the front to help reduce understeer a bit.

Was this to a standard cat back as i was thinking of getting one of these. If so how does it sound?

It was almost the standard cat back. I fitted a centre pipe from a 1.9tdi (on the great recommendation of lee69).

Sound wise- not a massive difference in the cabin, a bit more turbo noise but not much else. It grunts a bit between 3-5k when you boot it.

If you can be bothered with the hassle of getting it on (heatwrap makes things harder) it's worth doing. Power seems to come in a bit later than it used to but that doesn't bother me :)

Not quite sure how you came to that, true track cars will be mostly rose jointed and spherical bearings with few bushes
Also powerflex do varying types for different setup

I was thinking the same thing, Powerflex also has Black series.

offering the most precise and accurate alignment
for your chassis.

Ronin225, what's your opinion/input regarding bushings? There so many options out there and I am really buffled as to what's the best way to go! Basically the car is a ~300bhp street car (everyday usage) with potential for track days!
Anyone else has any inputs/thoughts? Any comments are more than welcomed!
