Advice Blog

For Toyota Celica owners who want to unlock their car’s full potential while keeping it daily-drivable, upgrading the suspension with Polybush’s Kit 135 is one of the most effective modifications you can make. Designed to enhance the Celica ZZT230-ZZT231 (1999-2006) without compromising comfort, Polybush’s high-quality polyurethane bushes will transform your car’s handling, responsiveness, and durability. Here’s how.

Why Choose Polyurethane Over Rubber?

Polyurethane bushes offer several advantages over standard rubber, particularly when it comes to performance and longevity. Rubber bushes are notorious for wearing out quickly, becoming soft, and losing their structural integrity. This can result in a loose, unresponsive feel that detracts from the car’s handling. Over time, rubber can deform, perish and split, especially when exposed to weather extremes, road grime, and oils & UV. In contrast, Polyurethane is highly resistant to these factors and will outlast and outperform rubber by at least 4-5 times without the headaches of maintenance.

Key Benefits of Polybush Kit 135 for Your Celica

  1. Improved Handling and Stability
    Polybush bushes make a world of difference to handling, giving you a Celica that feels more planted and controlled in corners. These bushes work to reduce unwanted flex in the suspension, meaning you get immediate feedback from the road. The car feels sharper, more predictable, and far more capable on the twisties, all while retaining its comfortable ride for everyday use.
  2. Enhanced Performance Without Compromising Comfort
    Often, aftermarket upgrades come with sacrifices, especially when it comes to ride quality. But Polybush Kit 135 is different. We’ve designed these bushes to improve performance without giving your Celica a harsh, jarring ride. They’ll still soak up the small bumps and road irregularities, so whether you’re on a spirited drive or a long journey, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more comfortable experience.
  3. Alignment Flexibility
    Unlike rubber bushes where the tubes are bonded, Polybush’s polyurethane bushes use a non-bonded design. The benefit? This setup ensures that the bushes don’t seize over time, so you can make alignment adjustments whenever you want without worrying about a bush that’s “locked” in place. Whether you’re fine-tuning your alignment for performance or compensating for minor changes over time, this flexibility makes ongoing maintenance much easier.
  4. Reduced Maintenance and Greater Durability
    Polybush bushes are highly resistant to wear, unlike standard rubber which can degrade rapidly under stress. Installing Kit 135 means you’re not just getting a handling upgrade—you’re investing in a lasting solution. Our bushes are immune to the oil, salt, and grime that can deteriorate rubber, making them an ideal choice for both daily drivers and weekend cars alike.
  5. A “Better Version” of Your Celica
    Our goal is to make your Celica ZZT230-ZZT231 the best it can be—keeping that iconic balance of agile, sporty handling with comfort and driveability. With Polybush Kit 135, you’ll notice improved cornering stability, a tighter feel, and an overall enhancement in how connected you feel to the car. It’s about giving you a more refined, performance-focused Celica without sacrificing what makes it such a joy to drive in the first place.

Final Thoughts

Fitting Polybush Kit 135 to your Toyota Celica ZZT230-ZZT231 is like hitting refresh on your suspension. You’ll maintain the comfort of a factory fit whilst giving it the performance, longevity, and responsiveness that true Celica enthusiasts crave. By choosing Polybush, you’re ensuring that your Celica remains great to drive, easy to maintain, and resilient to the elements, preserving it as the impeccable sports coupe it was meant to be.

Whether you’re restoring or upgrading, Polybush Kit 135 is a smart investment that keeps the spirit of the Celica alive and well on every drive.
