Superpro are considered the best in most people's eyes.

Don't bother with the back, just fit the WALK and change the front wishbone mount to a poly one. The ARBs will have their own in the kit.

I've not noticed any difference in vibration/noise - does firm up the steering response though.  :happy2:

Front bush (Powerflex, I can't work out which is the Superpro version)

Although, if you haven't bought the WALK yet, I notice Superpro are now offering a conversion kit using their bushes which does the same thing to your existing rear mount. Might be worth investigating if it is a decent alternative, I reckon it will be.

LOL @ JBS's quote of 4 hours to fit!!!

Speak to Mike at VWSpeed, he'll get them cheaper for you.

Looks exactly the same to me, minus the shiney gold bit. Find out the caster increase etc..
