After some opinions on poly trailing arm bushes, specifically super pro. Ive never had any issue with super pro in the past on other cars. Was doing some reading and seen a few people saying not to use poly bushes, especial for trailing arms. this was quiet a few years ago now and i cant find any new info on them,

Thanks

If you want a car that goes into snap oversteer at the limit, go poly bush. If you want one that handles in a civilised manner use rubber. The trailing arms bind up with poly bushes and the rear end misbehaves as a result.

Put superpro in back of gtr..heaps better than harder nolathane.

 

That being said if running low profile tyres or locker I'd rather rubber bushes....now would probably go rubber anyway just to have a little give in rear end particularly diff housing bushes.
