Powerflex bushes, Any Good??

[icewizard]

I'm looking at the rear suspension kit that powerflex do. What are they like, do they imrove the drive much over stadard stuff from autovaux?

Powerflex do an eccentric rear arm kit too for the same price that can correct camber/toe. Is this worth getting and is it easy enough to setup.

Not having fitted any powerflex bushes I can't really comment on them...but any Calibra that still has not had any of the bushes changed would feel the benefit of new ones. Even the ordinary ones from Vauxhall would improve the handling and feel of the car.

Powerflex ones are a good bit more expensive and my own thoughts are that even if standard ones are used and they don't last as long, the price of replacing them (or selling the car a couple of years down the road) would not justify the cost of powerflex...have changed all of the suspension bushes on mine and just used Vauxhall ones (apart from the rear camber ones) After all they are fitted at the factory and do last a few years with normal road use

the rear camber ones are the fixed type offset holes to alter the camber ...really only designed for a drop no greater than 30mm

got them fitted on mine ...and for a change I never fitted them I got them fitted at a garage

That's just what I needed to hear really. I think I will go with standard bushes from autovaux but still go for the powerflex rear arm eccentric kit. Hopefully it they won't be too hard to set up.

thats the thing...there is no setup with them..your only just replace the bush and due to he hole being offset that alters the camber
