i have a few mates who rate superpro poly bushes highly as they are one piece rather than split 2 piece.

i fitted mintex pads to my 90 a few thousand ago, seem fine, and werent to expensive
 
My D1 is on Superpro bushes, SWMBO's soon will be.....

+1 for Mintex pads - IIRC, they are silly cheap from paddocks (?)....
 
Green stuff are very good, but for a live axle vehicle keeping the tyres in contact with the road will limit your stopping power.
Mintex in my 90 seem okay, after all its not exactly fast is it?

I have Mintex, not had any issues.
Any of the branded polybushes are fine, I also know a few people have used Britpart, no problems.

Just passed the MOT with an advisory on thin pads on the rear. You know me I'm a total tart with Landy stuff. I'll check those brands out Mate cheers.

Change the pads, if they are worn, it will knack up the discs too.
And have a look at the discs look for wear at the edges, if they are worn, it will do the new pads in. New discs are pretty cheap if they are like bacon slicers! :)

Yeah I'll have a butchers but the discs didn't come up as an advisory. What about those Green Stuff pads?

Mot testing is pretty basic, if it stops at the time of test, that is ok.
No requirement to assess whether the parts willl be as functional in a years time. That is down to the operator.
Just run yer finger over the disc, you will be able to feel the wear difference on the rim and centre.

after fitting both types id allways opt for 2 piece bushes
 
Green Stuff if you like, but Mintex will work fine. Main thing is to make sure the pads slide on the little pins, constant dust and mud dropping on the caliper dont give the calipers an easy life! :(
 
I had floflex on my 90, not to impressed with them at all, initially seemed good but wore fast, worst ones were front hockey stick bushes sort of sagged which allowed the axle to twist back slightly so losing the self centering when exiting corners etc.
Have the say the std cheapo rubber bushes are just fine for what most people need.
