Polybushes, and Suspension

[Guest Troy Halliday]

I am in the process of a full restoration on my S3 and I am about to get the chasis shot blasted ready for repainting. As I am doing a full restoration I will be changing all the brake lines and will be changing the red clutch hose for copper pipe up to the engine bay and then braided hose to the slave cyclinder.

I am also changing all the bushes and suspension and have been trying to find an alternative source to SJ Sportscars for polybushes. So far I have contacted Polyflex, Polybush and Powerflex but none of them do a kit for my car.

Does anyone know of an alternative I could try.

I am also looking into springs and dampers Spax and Gaz do dampers for the S3 although I haven't checked out springs yet.

Again any help, or advice would be appreciated if you have had upgraded your suspension what did you choose and why also any horor stories.

How about Eibach - Billstein suspension?

Do PNM get involved with suspensioney things? I know they're well in there for brake kits.....

PNM didn't have any Poly bushes but said they were looking into it.

I have spoken to them about their Brake upgrade and think it is the way to go. I think the kit was
