Things like the top mounts, ARB bushes, that kind of thing. I'd personally only use poly bushes that actually gave a worthwhile increase in handling performance for a daily road car on their own merit - the wishbone rear bush (ALK) being the obvious one.

You could polybush everything, and undoubtedly create razor sharp handling, but at the cost of comfort. Point is, to get that extra performance increase it's a case of all or nothing. Sum of the parts kind of thing. The ALK on its own does a big job on its own, so as part of a mainly OEM setup it's worthwhile.

It's fair to assume that lots of your original bushes are past their best, so in replacing the majority with OEM, you'll still claw back a tighter handling car, without the losing any ride quality. You should actually gain some back.

So...as some of you may have spotted, I'm now the owner of a lovely Red ED30 so this is now for sale.

Will be really sad to see this go as I have loved every minute of ownership.

£4200 ono for anyone possibly interested.
