Bushes, Nolathane, superpro?

[spetz]

Which one is better?
I have been hearing that the superpro are better than nolathane

And can anyone get either one of these at wholesale price?

Thanks

[Chris S15]

I'd go Super Pro.

ENERGY!! Cheap and Good.

[spetz]

Energy?
Is that another brand?

[ccibai]

Energy is an US brand while Superpro is Australian.

[spetz]

Is it only for Honda?

[DomenEK]

No. Have a look here. (http://www.energysuspension.com/)

[Slow96GSR]

Energy Suspension is da bomb! Not cheap but inexpensive, kind of. I use them in all my cars and we use them in our race cars if they have a kit. As to the second question, yes!

[Steer^Gimic]

is there an australian distributor for engergy suspension or can i order straight from the site??

[CUL8R]

if u go through the site ull prob cut out the middle man and save cash $$$
iirc i got my engine mount inserts and a master bushing kit for like 600ish????

[Slow96GSR]

Ouch, that's almost $460USD. The master kit is $180-260USD and the inserts are $20-40USD. Was there a lot of shipping involved to raise it $260-160USD or more than just the insert and master kit?

[hugo]

i got qoute of $120USD delivery for master kit to aus...
is that for real???

[Slow96GSR]

No. That's a rip off. It's like 10 pounds and takes a 12"x12"x6" box, so Airmail Parcel Post, 4 - 10 Days is about $59.30USD. I can also ship a motor mount kit in the same box for $10USD more. Go to www.USPS.com and then to the international shipping and it will help you figure out shipping. I did a FedEx estimate and it came to $160ish and UPS was a little more.

nolathane and super pro are actually manufactured by the same people. When i was out buying polyurotane bushes i later found out that they were from the same manufacturer and rebadged.

[iamhappy46]

Wrong, Nolathane is based in Sydney and Superpro are in Qld.

They are completely different comapnies and make their bushes 'in house'

Whiteline source all of their bushes from Superpro(who are owned by Fulcrum!)

Another supplier is Noltec, who have an awesome trailing arm bush design which allows the centre to pivot without twisting the bush.

[spetz]

So then is noltec better than the other two??

Ouch, that's almost $460USD. The master kit is $180-260USD and the inserts are $20-40USD. Was there a lot of shipping involved to raise it $260-160USD or more than just the insert and master kit?

I believe Noltec to be awesome for some of their stuff(namely this bush) but I normally buy Superpro bushes for swaybar links/D bushes as they are cheaper for regular parts. NOltec charge about 15% more than Superpro but the cool blue colour can be worth the extra $$ if you are into that.

[spetz]

I rather pay a little bit more for something better though

So, is noltec the best of all?

[iamhappy46]

For regular swaybar bushes and stuff, there is hardly any difference in 'performance' but some manufacturers have unique designs that make them stand out.

[spetz]

I am upgrading all the bushes in the car

So then... which one???

it seems most peope do agree superpro > nolathane


PS. Have you found thoe reciepts yet?

[iamhappy46]

Superpro bushes would be my choice, however if you like the pale blue of Noltec then that would affect my decision.

Not found the receipts yet, I know it was a company based in Sydney though.

[spetz]

please find it for me!!!

superpro it is then!

Is your car for road or race? I probly wouldnt go this far on a street car but for racing,
www.hardrace.com sells spherical bearings if u wanna go all out on your suspension. keeps your allignment Absolutly perfect, if u wanna go as far as to spot weld ur chassis why not. These bearings all have sealed rubber boots and seem great quality.

Heres a great link - http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1510236


Also try - http://www.orijinmotorsports.com/prodchen.html - they make a spherical kit for your front LCA's - somthing thats a little harder to find.

[Muzz]

Sorry all these links are for honda parts, i didnt realise its not for a honda.

[spetz]

Hardrace still have for my car but I think that is going too extreme (not worth the money)
