We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.
Our Comfort grade bushes are designed to enhance ride quality and minimise road noise, making them ideal for everyday driving. They are softer, providing maximum suspension articulation and a cushioned feel that absorbs bumps and vibrations effectively. This softer composition ensures a smoother, quieter driving experience, especially in Classic cars or Land Rovers. Comfort bushes maintain a balance between originality and ease of driving, catering to those who value a relaxed Factory-Fresh drive.
The Dynamic grade bushes offer a middle ground between Comfort and Performance. They are slightly firmer than the Comfort bushes, which improves handling and cornering response without sacrificing too much ride comfort. These bushes are ideal for drivers who enjoy a more engaging driving experience while still needing a level of comfort for daily use, whilst also being suitable for spirited driving & light track use.
Performance grade bushes are the stiffest of the three, designed for enthusiasts who demand the utmost in handling and control. They offer minimal deflection, enhancing vehicle response and stability during aggressive driving. These bushes are perfect for high-performance or track vehicles where precision and handling are critical. While they might sacrifice some ride comfort, they deliver superior driving dynamics and control, ideal for those who push their vehicle to its limits – Including Towing!
These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications
The Audi S3 Mk1 Quattro (8L) is the hot version of the first A3, and its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive punch asks a lot of the suspension. Owners keeping one sharp for spirited road or track use almost always reach a point where the tired original bushes are holding the car back from its potential.
The front lower arm bushes take the strain of both the power and hard cornering, and once they soften you get vague steering, a knock over bumps and inconsistent grip out of tight corners. Anti-roll bar bushes wear alongside, adding body roll, while the rear quattro mounting bushes loosen the back end under load.
Fitting our polyurethane bushes to the S3 8L brings back the precise, planted feel this pocket rocket is meant to have, and the material resists the heat and salt that destroy rubber. It is a favourite upgrade for fast-road and track S3s. Compare the A3 8L Quattro range, the newer S3 Mk2 Quattro bushes, or the related VW Golf Mk4 range.
