Questions about your street version front mount bushing?

Hey guys,

can you tell me what durometer rating is the street front mount bushing? i want to order one very soon but i'm trying to decide whether to go with the powerflex or your street bushing.

90A durometer rating.

We have seen powerflex units on customers cars here and they do no last. The ones we have seen are just too soft. I am not sure if they have changed this since we last saw them.

On the front mount you can go really stiff and not really notice much in resonance in the cabin. It's when you replace all of them that it can get a bit noisy inside the car.

There is an option for a street version which is 70a durometer. This is a little softer and wont transmit as much vibration as the 90a bushings

thanks for the info guys. i wouldnt have guessed this to be a hard decision lol

i dont want to have the interior rattle a bunch especially once i install my Cossies but i dont want it to be to soft that it wasnt much of an upgrade.

do they soften up over time?

so the powerflex units dont hold up to well huh?

No matter what you get youll get more interior noise. Go for the 90a and be done with it. They will quite down a little over a few weeks. I have had my poweflex for 2 years, its about the same as stock now. Granted it was cheaper. Knowing what I know now I would have delt with the bit more noise and got the AMS one.
