Golf VR6 - which bushes to use

[rsweeney 40]

I'm planning on renewing all of the rubber bushes/mounts on my 1996 golf vr6. 

 

I spoke to Stealth racing and was told to only use standard Powerflex for rear beam, the black series are too harsh.

 

They also said that instead of using Powerflex bushes on the wishbones use audi TT wishbone bushes. 

This is the part number I have found for them -  8N0 407 181B , if anyone can confirm this?

 

Anyone been through this process of finding the best setup for the golfs as far as bushes go ? Trying to get a full shopping list together so I can put an order in

Do what stealth said

But I think I'd use oe rear beam bushes to maintain the passive rear steer and a little comfort

I've only recently found out about the rears

I've got all the bushes ball joints track rod end tie rods just need fitting

Nice one ill order a set of wishbone bushes from vw/ audi, 

 

Thats interesting because I fitted powerflex to the rear beam of my other vr6 and they dont seem too harsh

 

I think changing all the bushes ball joints etc is one of those jobs that once done should make a huge difference to the whole drive of the car, not exactly a pleasant job though !
