Right I'm thinking of buying the polybush kit which comprises x4 anti roll bar bushes x4 Lower arm bushes plus I was thinking of getting the dog bone bush and the top engine mount bush that's the front end.now at the rear I was thinking of getting the axle bushes and rear shocker top bushes and to finish it off was looking at a rear strut brace(already have front one.is it worth spending all that money will I achive much.plus has anyone ever fitted any of the above was going to pay someone do it but just trying save some money and do it me self any answers much appreciated

I fitted a evol engineering dogbone (road use one) myself last week in half an hour or so you could do that yourself. I just put 2 wheels on the kerb, slid underneath and did it that way. It made a big pretty improvement on it's own so I'd certainly say that was worth it for the money.

After seeing a Powerflex lower arm bush fail horrifically on Youtube it would take me quite some convincing to go with them TBH.

Nearly every Rally car to date uses them, potentially buying 2nd hand ones was the reason here?

I've done a lot of research, spoken to many people. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea.

Rally cars are rebuilt though, frequently.

For the front of my Cup, I got new arms with OEM bushes - which made a HUGE difference to the old perished ones.

I only polybushed the rear beam, rear top mounts and ARBs.

That was the older version if I remember correctly.

rear strutbrace is useless
new design powerflex won't fail, mind the are now black only top really stiff
rear topmount I still wonder about, due to the design of the rear suspension the bottom of the shock moves in an arc, this means there should be some 'give' in the topmount, making them as stiff as possible seems counter intuitive to me.

Yeah agreed there. I'm doing full rebuild and it will never be used on the road!
