Hey fellas, I'm in the process of purchasing all new suspension bushes for the rear end of the VL and I might need suggestions and ideas on what to use. I was pretty set on buying Noltech bushes (the blue stuff), but looks damn expensive and would rather save the headache of trying to source everything I need across their website. At first, I tried to steer clear of Nolathane because I heard their stuff is really harsh and that's something I didn't want also. I had a look on their website and found their new product range called "Nolthane Evolution" which is a lot more suited to normal street use as it's a softer compound then the normal, harder stuff they have. http://www.nolathane.com.au/evolution.htm It definetely looks promising, but has anyone had any experience with this stuff before? OR does anyone have other brands they'd recommend? I just want everything done right. Thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah mate I have a full Nolathane bush kit in my car and its all good. Keeps the car nice and tight. From memory I had the choice of race or street/race... I chose the softer one for road use

I havent bothered to replace any of mine yet because the ones I have are still in reasonable condition. But you dont want all you bushs to be too stiff or your inevitably gonna translate stress elsewhere....

I did ALL my bushes when I did the suspension and 18s in one day, and I still have all my teeth. It's really not as bad as people make out
