Hi guys,

I'm about to buy a front suspension upgrade kit and replace the remainder of my bushings but i am confused by the choice.

It seems Polyurethane squeak and are very harsh. Polygraphite give the same ride but dont squeak and Midolyene give you the strength of urethane with a softer ride.

What do i buy? Too many choices. I live in Ireland and do very little motorway driving, mostly average to small roads with good to poor road surface qulaity, so a really harsh ride will only cause my car to rattle after a few weeks i'd imagine.

Any advice?

I'm going with the Midolyne for my current project (well at least for the bushings I am not making myslef) and so are several people I know. I don't have any direct experience with them but I trust the company that sells them....Canadian Mustang, and their US storefront American Pony. I buy all my suspension form them because their products (normal replacement stuff that is) come from the original manufacturer that supplied these parts to Ford when they were built in the 60's. I have even heard that they are the same company and the two aforementioned companies are just consumer storefronts for the original manufacturer....but someone needs to confirm that because I'm going on secondhand info. I was once in the warehouse of a Mustang supply store and there was a pallet of Ford springs with the Ford part number painted on them just like original....the shippng label showed the origin as Canadian Mustang.

I went with polygraphite from PST Performance http://www.p-s-t.com/
I have over 15k miles on it and most of them are hard miles and rough roads. They still give a good ride and there are no squeaks or binds. I would definately recommend their products

I second that, I've had their polygraphite bushings on my car for over two years now, and they don't squeek a bit.

Another confirmation for PST --- good stuff I've had them on for years now, nice upgrade, no squeeks much better than the old stuff
