The S16 is now knocking well from the rear over bumps, are the solid bushes worth it on a road car?

I'd say not. Personal choice though and my car feels far from wobbly with new mounts.

I guess you wouldn't lose much if you tried them and then sold them on again - not going to wear as such.

Another vote hear, But I would have to really.
Fitted them on loads of car's now and it makes them so much more positive as there's no slop, No more road noise either with full trim in.

Although I would also put in a vote for solid mounts, If you have a knocking or slop from back there it may also be time for new bearings in the beam? Check in the for sale section for the set of fit and forget phosphor bronze beam bearings that were on there. Would make a propper job of it if you do all that at the same time. P.M. Me if you are inrterested in a set of solid mounts.

Has anyone got of the bronze beam bearings then? I'm going to rebuild my rear beam and that would be ideal, can lower it and never worry about them ever again!

Even when lowered, heard that when lowered they do go much quicker than they would normally

Only when the old seals have been disturbed, fit new and they'll last.
