EG5 , please do make a false accusation upon my self of "defamatory comments". I do realise you a distributor in Oz / on this site....Im not dissing you personally as I am telling the community not to fall for buzz words/statistics and think about a purchase beforehand. Im sure you can see me "diss" another traders products in this very thread - HE responded very maturely and constructively. This is a thread for discussion. I will personally always push your products where people ask me personally , but you sell both OEM and hardrace so back oem for the right reasons and back hardrace for the right reasons too. Not just suggest a senior admin "...should know better" :0)
This thread is titled " OEM vs hardrace" - in which , IMO from experience and train of thought - OEM is superior - Yonas this is about discussion , bring out some info for everyone to back up claims of 150% harder etc.
What is the current longevity on hardrace mounts etc ? Any reports of failures ?
Dont stir up trouble u mad?

I would recommend hardrace as the alternative to mugen or spoon (which are re-branded Oem stuff anyway). HardRace has a track record amongst people who track a lot and having used their stuff, it pretty good. As for copying, I mean how different can you go in design of a bush anyway.
Front Hardrace arm and spherical bearing.

Rear hardware trailing arm spherical bearing.

no reports of bushes failures, I do have a customer coming back with broken bush due to poor DIY effort.

Hey Ben, for one, Oem feels quite will willowy (if there was such a term), especially coupled with firm suspensions. When you move onto HR, one of the first things you will feel is that it's a lot firmer, then again, most people replace when their bushings are sh.t anyway, so anything new in there would feel firm - but I had the advantage of moving directly from OEM to ES to HR (and tracked with all of them). The ES were good (and simple to install) and did the job but moving to HR in the 2nd year, there was difference and the car did handle better, all things being equal. I subsequently reverted the eg to daily street duties before it got stolen mid last year, it was good for some midnight runs :-p , but also good on a day to day basis.
For price and performance, I'd go hardrace over Oem, as for longevity, well, I've not seen any complaints by internet warriors about it so I assume everyone's happy.
