HI all, have all of my calibra v6 rear axle taken off the car to be painted. may aswell replace all the
bushes as its off. MY question is whats the best bushes for the calibra v6. I dont want the standard

vauxhall. Thanks.

Just i think it would inprove the handling. I have new bilstein dampers and eibach springs to be fitted. Was just
wondering if other people fitted polly bushes to their callibras and is it worth it.

had same suspension setup myself, I replaced the large subframe mount bushs...and they really needed done as they fell out. I did put the powerflex offset Bush's in the inner trailing arm to help the camber. the other just used new Vauxhall ones

it certainly helped improve the handling with just that done...did that before fitting the new suspension

polly bushes will make the ride very hard.
