Re: [Susp.] MK I Poly rear upper strut bushings, too much for street?

["Randy B" <sirocco@telocity.com>]

I've been running the poly upper strut bushings (Autotech) for about 7 years
now. (in two different Mk1 Scirocco's).
Both cars were/are daily drivers.
It is a shame they are no longer available. :(
I have never heard a peep out of them and would NEVER go back to the stock
OEM rubber ones.
IMO this is one of the best front suspension upgrades you can do.
I feel the opposite about the rear upper poly bushings (pulled them back out
after about 6mo.)
If it was strictly a track car I might have left the rears on, but as a
street car the rattling was driving me NUTS!
Just my opinion :)
