Well worth doing. I just had mine done this week and the difference is night and day. My old ones were shot and were all over the place. 50k on the clock, track days, heavy braking with BBK and high corner loads when corning took their toll.

You get a bit of increased noise from the road, but its not noticable much in my car. The improvements are massive.

Have you had the whole car polybushed, or just the front bushes that Paul mentioned ?

I had the engine and gearbox mounts done a long time ago. There is a review on MINI2 somewhere that I wrote. Those were well worth doing.

The ones I mentioned above are the front bushes that Paul is talking about. I am going to get the rear ones done at some point too. Be interesting if I notice the rears as much as I notice the fronts.

its a job that I'm off to 1320 to have done in the new year, as others (inc bhozar) can attest, my car is all over the place at the moment despite the lowered springs and nice wheels/tyres. 60k of hard miles on poor roads and drag strip work has taken its toll!

Only ever put the stuff in once

Richard Crofts · Dec 17th, 2007, 05:03 PM

Mine did on the Malverns! LOL

Probably why she smelt of jet fuel on the day, didn't popple, and wouldn't work the next day when cold

LOL

Lucky Dave · Dec 17th, 2007, 09:33 PM

Dont blame the booster Rich, your car was just broken, next you will tell me thats what broke the wipers!!

Richard Crofts · Dec 18th, 2007, 02:06 PM
