SVX poly suspension bushes

Has anyone heard or used Strong-flex polyurethane bushings?

Looks like they do 2 options including 80 shore and 90+ shore for firmer ride.
Complete kit avail for SVX including control arms (which I'm in need for, esp left side) for what looks to be about $250 (aus) for 20 bush kit.




company is Polish, just wonder if anyone has heard of them before

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

Mods 271216 and 271217 seem interesting. But the prices are a bit steep in my opinion

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

250 for those 20 bushings is a killer deal. Look at it in a breakdown:
Swaybar bushings are going to run you about $30 per end so $60
Control arm bushings for BOTH sides for any other Subaru ~ $120
Trailing arm bushings will run in the realm of $50-60
Lateral link bushings will run you about $120 or so but I have no seen a lot of people replace those. They usually get aftermarket lateral links.

So if you were to buy the above mentioned bushings for an STi you would be out about $350 or so

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

Your price is a little off, for the softer ones, it would be $298US or about $330 AUS and for the "sport" kit, would be $330US or about $365 AUS. This is for the full kit for the front and rear, perhaps you looked at the price for just the rear kit

Edit: would have to add shipping fees in as well

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

And those /\/\ numbers more closely match what I broke down in my first post. I just would be interested in the control arm bushings and the trailing arm bushings...

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

I went through with registering and going just before actually ordering, and it seems there are no shipping fees
I would almost definitely thing they would charge for shipping overseas.

BTW, interesting and very cool that you found this

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

Well, I might be interested in the control arms bushings only, front and rear.

Maybe if we can organize a group buy thing, we would drive the price further lower... so?

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

Does anyone know if these will also work for the '92s? I figure they are the same underneath for the most part, just need to know before I order.

Also, how many kits are left??

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

I'm seriously interested in the control arm and trailing arm bushings. The sway bar bushings won't work with my sway bars , and I'm going with aftermarket lateral links.

None are spoken for. I have refused all payment as I do not know what final price will be.

yeah, I know the cost of the bushings. yeah, I know the cost of the shipping.

What I don't know is what kind or customs I'm going to get hit with.

Once they arrive I will be adding them to the site, and there will be 4 to start (you'll notice I said 4 when I ordered 5. There's a reason for that).

Re: SVX poly suspension bushes

I am really curious about these bushings. I want a set but I want to know about the quality/fitment first. Price? I am not worried, the guys at TIC have always taken care of me in the past.
