I know right?

Of course, everyone needs nolathane bushings in a daily:



I did some engine bay detailing a few weeks back, still looks good apart from the smudges on my engine cover!


seriously though - the nolathane bushings are fantastic. I put a superpro Supalloy wishbone kit in the Octavia when I owned it, and to be honest for the money, for a road car, its about 6 times better value to buy Nolathane bushings instead. The nolathane bushings are a little harder to get in, as the fronts seem a little fatter (lengthways, not bore size) than the superpro - but apart from that the net effect for driving feel is identical and it also feels like there is a little less NVH with the nolathane + stock steel wishbones, vs the supalloy wishbone kit.

I would also tentatively say that the nolathanes are making the ride even a bit nicer than stock, since theres no stored energy in the bushings.

for $100 all up, you cant go wrong really.
