Message: <blockquote data-quote="coffee" data-source="post: 607804" data-attributes="member: 26577">I just changed from my PU bushes to Lemforder bush today. The PU bushes that came with the car had been there for about a year and showed no signs of degrading. Lasting they were! But...and this is a big but...they were quite stiff, and harsh.So its a 3 way trade off between durability, comfort, and cost. For me, i felt so much more comfortable with the Lemforder bushes. The car rode better, was less harsh, and even the engine felt smoother. There was a bit more roll for sure, but nothing dramatic. If anything, it made the car feels more natural and balanced. Steering feel felt less stiff and more natural as well. And surprisingly, i got decent steering feedback with them. The PUs gave even more steering feedback, but the feedback was drowned by the increased vibration that the PUs translate to the car. So, while there is a slight lost in steering directness & feedback with the Lemforders, it gains in purity of feedback. I am a happy man. If the cost to having this level of balance is a pair of bushes that cost RM350 (labour included) and a lifespan of 30k km (thats what M-Speed's Ah Meng told me), i would gladly have them over the more lasting but ultimately stiffer and harsher PUs.</blockquote>
