Tom's TR7 Blogging - 1981 FHC

I still wasnt happy with the handling of the car, I know it was on standard suspension, but it just didn't feel right. So on went a set of Superpro Bushes from Neil Revington. These arent cheap, I replaced subframe, control arm, antiroll bar, rear trailing arms and tie rod bushes, these come to about £200, I was unsure whether to get these, over S&S's bushes but i bit the bullet and boy am I glad i did. The differance is amazing, considering the bushes on the car were only a year old. It was a different car, smooth, responsive, and I will recommend them to anyone, not just once, or twice, but again and again

For people information these are the bushes and prices at RRP:

Front track control arm to subframe bushes - SPF0139K - a kit to do the bushes (4 'half' bushes and 2 stainless steel sleeves) on both arms £27.53

Antiroll bar to track control arm bushes - SPF0518K - a kit of 4 bushes £18.38

Antiroll bar to subframe - SPF0111K - a kit of 2 bushes £12.95

Rear Trailing arm - lower - SPF0070K - A kit of 4 bushes and 4 sleeves £72.19 - OUCH£££ theses are also availible as SPF0070-80K (for tuned V8's) and SPF 0070-90K (for race only - very hard - like to see how hard these are to put in!)

Rear trailing arms upper (tie rods) SPF0072K - a kit of two bushes and two sleeves, so two kits needed per car - total £56.81

front subframe - a kit to do the front of the subframe - SPF2466K - £63.85

rear subframe - a kit to do the rear of the subframe - SPF2468K - £40.33

total = £292.04 - shocking maybe worth doing subframe first (£100) front suspension next (almost £100) and rear last (the last £100)

I could point out that its funny how superflex bushes have the same part number, and the same bushes come to £174 plus postage, they arent in kit form, you need to order the right number of bushes, from http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ but you dont get the same level of after sale support and TR expertise that Neil can offer, take your pick.
