Std Bushes V's Nolarhane

[discostig]

Depends on if you can get the labour cheap as well, like really cheap... because the labour charge will be substantial, you probably won't want to put standard ones in unless you fit them yourself and don't drive the car very often.

Yeah so I thinking I'm gonna go the super pro as it's my daily

I've got Superpro control blade bushes, rear diff bush and front lower control arm bushes going in on Friday. Koni shocks and a Whiteline front swaybar are also being fitted.

I brought all the parts off Pat at Wholesale Suspension and my dealer is fitting everything for $895 with a wheel alignment.

The labour for the rear bushes alone is $420, so that gives you something to go by.

the quote was replacing all the bushes front to back, ball joints (front) gearbox mount, tailshaft, front/ rear rotors (apparently glazed disks are no good but good for shaving your face), shocks and 4 bearings according to pedders.

my brother inlaws work just quoted me for the same thing for $3000

How'd you go with this?

The parts alone would be more than $3k.

Seems to good to be true IMO.

Nice choice Adam It should feel so much tighter and planted. And 90% of the time be more comfortable as well.

[Adam]

Thanks mate. You're spot on with your description too.

I've just gotten the car back after having the parts I listed a few posts up and the difference is incredible!

The rear is rock solid now and IMO is no noisier at all. It fact, it's quieter once I consider the knocks that I occasionally used to get with the stock bush which was starting to fall apart (55,000km).

The front end has so much more feel to now and the Koni shocks (which were adjusted up one turn on install) have firmed the ride up, but it's still quite comfortable.

There's a little more noise coming through from the front, but not a great deal more. I'm happy to compromise on that for the benefits I've gained. The front tyres shouldn't flog out on the inside edge any more either.

Overall the car feels more connected to the road and more precise. I'm very happy with the results!

I have to thank Pat from WSP and XR09 for all their help and advice on the right setup for my needs.

It did seem to good to b true found that it wasnt repacing the lot only what needed to b done but I found a place in penrith that quoted $3300 ajustable coil over spring (not sure what brand) and poly urathane bushes front and rear tranny mounts tailshaft bush and ball joints

[Adam]

Thought that might be the case.

All of the stuff above cost me $2900 fitted.

I Was thinking of installing whiteline 27mm front & 22mm rear. These kits seem to come with bushes, how do the supplied whiteline bushes compare with nolathane?
