Beam bushes

[DomP182]

I'm torn between Febi standard rear beam bushes and whiteline, is there much to gain with upgrading them?

No idea, but I'm also interested to find out..

Depends what the car is used for? If solely a road car I’d go for the standard febi replacements which will be miles better than 10+ year old bushes. If it’s part road/part track day I’d go powerflex purple but full on race car black series powerflex.

I know many folk run the PF items with great success however i was advised against them due to poor fit, so went with Whiteline.
My car is a full interior, every day, road car, and i can say i've noticed absolutely no additional NVH or any sideffect to fitting the Whiteline items at all.
Personally id go with the Whiteline items as they're arguably cheaper than the OEMs, more robust and have no negative effects at all.

Thanks, I can get the Febi with new bolts for £27 so a no brainer really. Just wanted to check there were no massive gains for a road car

Not a Clio but i noticed an improvement when fitting whiteline bushes to my fiesta st rear beam.

I'd buy the Whitelines for the quality alone.

just fitted powerflex purple, the fit was perfect, like a glove! I also bought the febi Bilstein purely for the new nuts and bolts as the old ones got cut off in a rage. They also look really good quality, as good as genuine imo
