Default Poly Suspension Bushings....Finally found em!

www.superpro.com.au

You have to download their 20 meg adobe acrobat catalog to find the part numbers.

They have

Pony/Excel (X1)
Accent/Excel (X2)
Accent/Excel (X3)
Tiburon (Gen1 only)
Elantra/lantra (91-95)
Elantra/lantra J2 (96-2000)
Scoupe
Santa Fe
Sonata (89-93)
Sonata (93-96)
Sonata EF (01-03)

If we have enough interest, we can organize a group buy for everyone, and hopefully lower the prices for everyone.

It looks like whiteline is a distributor for them, so you can get them from www.whiteline.com.au or their usa distributor is.

mmmm polyurethane bushings ::;drool:::

what about Gen2

I think they are mostly the same. Do we know if they will all fit or what the differences will be.

I am thinking they will all fit.

Random, I have a friend that's a US importer for Whiteline and we're working to get them in the store which means you'll be able to order them without the hassle of a group buy.

Ok, the way suspensions are designed assumes that the components in the suspension do not flex or give (mainly becuase the physics that happens when stuff flexes is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard). However, most suspension bushing are rubber because its cheap. Rubber flexes a lot though. So we replace it with polyurethane becuase it doesnt flex nearly as much, making the suspension more responsive and "in tune".

These are just bushings. The eliminate "slop" or "free play" in the suspension system. They will work with any strut or coilover.

They will give the car a more "planted" feel, at the expense of more road vibration/noise transmitted to the car chassis.
