After having a spring snap this week and a beam in the process of being rebuilt, I thought I might do the lot!!

I am thinking of getting a koni kit all round with adjustable dampers and poly bushes all round!!

What are people's thoughts?

Any feedback!!

Thanks

Oh really! Because I did 50k on regular powerflex purple front bushes on my 6 and when I took them off (because everyone on here was bleating about them being crap) they were absolutely fine. So good in fact i sold them to someone else. I now have the harder black compound ones inThumbs up
