sciroccotune Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Just GTI bushes.AH i have a plan on that one, I really want poly ones at some point but until then i was planning on using an old trick of hoping the bushes i have have stretched enough to all the extra 5mm.I know its a bit of a half job but i did this ages ago on my corrado the old old bushes lasted another few years with the bigger ARB.So basically the 22mm is the one i want and i should just need new bushesThanks chaps!

simpo Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I re-used the circular bushes but not the more block shaped ones. Im almost positive the bushes are the same on the gti and sport, as the ones that came off were identical to the ones I put on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 anyone know where i can get poloy bushes from?cheersTheres no specific kit for the Lupo GTi from powerflex. You would have to measure the original ones and then go through powerflexes list and find ones to fit your specs. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a major weakness of my car is the lack of a rear ARB.Thanks for the help guys! Edited April 25, 2008 by sciroccotune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
