miko_supra Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Do they squeek at all? I have heard all the horror stories about squeeks and that is putting me off. No squeeking should occur. Squeeks might occur due to the bushes not being properly lubricated during installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 2 questions. 1) Do you offer a range/choice of bushes you can supply and/or fit? (ie do you prefer not to fit x type?) What bushes can you supply and at what price? 2) Can you have the arms powder coated rather than painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bushes can you supply and at what price? 2) Can you have the arms powder coated rather than painted? The only two types of bushes that i've used and know of (that are a full kit) are powerflex and R2. R2 i find is better as they supply everything and are better value. Powerflex dont include the rear upper control arm bushes for some reason and have to be sourced from a seperate company for about £80. The main advantage with getting powerflex is the delivery time as they are a uk supplier where as R2 have to be shipped over from the states. Im talking to a company at the moment about powder coating as supradibbs wants his powder coated so yes that can be done too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 what about if i brought my car to you for you to change all the bushes yourself, is that a service that you provide? if so, can you do it in a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) what about if i brought my car to you for you to change all the bushes yourself, is that a service that you provide? if so, can you do it in a day? Yeah i can do that if you like. The problem this time of year is the amount of light available in the day. I could do it in a couple of days if all you wanted was the bushes removed and replaced with new ones. If you can only leave the car with me for a day at a time, then i could do one end, say the front and then the next time i could do the rear.

Andy-No-Knee Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Fantastic!!! Thanks. I was looking at the camber adjuster kits they do as well.... Mine is lowered, but not drasticly, and some times the alignment monkeys have fun getting it sorted, I'm wondering if the kit would help. Anyone ever used one?

SteveR Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Camber adjustment (front and rear) is standard on the Supra. What would the kit would give you over the OEM setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-No-Knee Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well it adds extra adjustment to the upper arm, not just the lower one, so when lowered and the adjustment is just on the edge of getting it right the upper adjustment can help.... that is of course if I read the sales blurb right.

I see. TBH I'm genuinely not sure if that would be needed unless your car is extremely low, and/or hasn't has springs with rate to match the modification. In your shoes, I'd speak to an expert before throwing money at a problem that you might not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-No-Knee Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Good idea.... Thanks. I've decided to get the normal R2 bush kits. No to see the cost from the bro in law.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just sent you a PM Mike. If I did go ahead with any bush replacement - please bear in mind the car is a facelift and I believe some of the front bushes (lower control arms) are a different size.
