Floflex vs Superpro - not the usual question !!

Buckhandle · Sep 1, 2013

Years ago I fitted floflex bushes on my td5 90. The bushes are getting inflexible and I'm looking to fit new SuperPro bushes. However I also fitted new bolts when the floflex bushes were fitted. As I remember some of the bolts had different diameter compared to the original bolts (intended for rubber bushes).

Now my questions are ..
1) are the bolts different or are am I not remembering it correctly?
2) if they are - will the floflex bolts fit the SuperPro bushes??

bolts should be the same

Thx JM, I assume anyone with a different view would have revealed themselves by now

I will go ahead without considering new bolts ..

floflex's full kit doesn't show any bolts

I've just fitted the flo-flex bushes, and ordered front and back 'Bolt kits' from paddocks, everything fitted fine, so I would say you have nowt to worry about

Fit standard bushes they lasted all the life before of the vehicle and your replacing these after a few years, nothing wrong with standard

Bit of a bugger if you haven't got a press though

, although "Next time"

, I may well go down the standard route

Better than buying 3 times instead of once

Ye, I know what your saying

, was a bit of a rush job this time for MOT re-test, so didn't have time to plan use of a press etc, and Poly-bush was easy enough

to do on my own

I agree, iI would prefer the standard rubber ones for the ride quality. But now i have poly's and will stick to them just because they are very easy to replace. Even thought of buying the very soft PolyBushes (blue I thing?) and accept having to replace a bit more often.

Update! Replaced the Flo-Flex with SuperPro and got a much better & softer ride! Still firm and responsive! The SuperPro was also a lot easier to fit and the bushings are definitely stronger. No doubt, I will only use SuperPro in the future

Glad to hear your happy, they're the one with a three year warranty aren't they?
I want to do my discovery but can't decide which to get. Genuine bushes are a fortune anyway (the britpart ones didn't last very long and I normally like britpart stuff)
Obviously I don't want the rock hard ones. Do you mind me asking how much the kit was?
