they have improved with some of their products but the poly still cracks over time. They are just mass produced in china anyway.
the superpro aka Fulcrum bushes are a superior material, have knurling for grease retention which works great, all machined outer shells so it actually fits properly and some of their bushes have special voids in the design to help with suspension harmonics and vibration dampening. Also they are made in house in the QLD factory. The super pro bushes are all dark blue not red so its easy to know if you have good or crap ones.
they leave the nolthane for dead all day every day, literally.
I say they are 100% better long term for 10% more cost over the nolthane.
I do give nolthane credit for the holden sway bar link pins/bushes kit. It actually works and lasts. Mine still going good for well over 6 months. Had a look just the other day, no deterioration so far so I am happy. I would only get couple of weeks out of stock rubber ones. I think their key to success on this one was the UFO shaped bush that allows the pin to roll around on the strut bracket like a ball joint with ease yet firmly anchored in place.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.
All replaced now though.
looks good, whats the coil overs you have there?
this reminds me of my Gemini drag car build, was like 2 yrs of solid work till I was finally able to drive it
