    I was given blackseries front and rear arm bushes when I bought my R26 recently. They are still in their box and not fitted.
    Is it worth getting them on the car? Do they improve the handling? I’ve heard they can give quite some vibration?

    Thoughts please
     
  2. From what I hear, they're only really for on the track, as far too stiff for road use. However, I'm contemplating replacing all the bushes on mine with the black series as I've already "fucked it up" with the coilovers I've fitted! [emoji23]

    most people say if you changing the bushes in the front arms go for original bushes, a few have had trouble with the powerflex bushes splitting

    Sounds like the benefits are minor then if any?
    Might just sell them on then

  8. Powerflex give a lifetime warranty on their bushes, or so they say anyway. Anyone tried to get a replacement?

    still got to pay someone to take apart the suspension and fit it or take the time and do it yourself

    Ive ran them a year now on my 175 and they feel great imo. cant fault them, used powerflex for years and had replacements sent out on warranty on other cars no issues at all.
