Both work very well with the WL being slightly less harsh. If you have any plans to up the HP level definitely go for a poly bushes over stock rubber.The Wiring connector seal tube on the ZF is very easy but you will need to drop the pan/fluid. The Part is only around $30.Re the adjustable arms vs the eccentric bushes. If I didn't have the camber adjustment built into the rear upright I would go down this adj upper arm road. Allows much finer adjustment as the eccentric bush is static once installed so cannot be adjusted.

Will look at doing it in the not too distant future. Replaced trans fluid and filter just over 10 months ago. Could probably put it off for a little bit so long as it doesnt leak too much out.I have to agree though. The adjustable arms seem like the better option over the 2. Seems to be replacing 2 tyres every 12 months. Just hoping I can get it into specs with themSent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk

PAH Legacy Donating Member 361 Member For: 17y 8m 4d Gender: Male Posted 23/07/15 08:49 PM Posted 23/07/15 08:49 PM Guys. My first change was to Superpro "Comfort" bushes. They had to be replaced. The mechanic who pulled them out told me that they had been installed incorrectly. I am now running the heavy duty Superpro bushes and don't have any issues with NVH. Maybe that's because old farts hear less noise? Apart from brick under the accelerator, are there any adjustments to reduce axle tramp? It's just a tad noticeable from a standing start on dampish surfaces.
