Another Ideola exclusive: To ease with ordering, we have custom-developed an exclusive "Kit Builder" feature that allows you to quickly select the durometer you desire, along with the specific bushings you would like to bundle into your kit. Each model range is accompanied with a handy diagram and numbering menu to help you identify which bushings to order for your application.

The original "Street" (Purple) bushes were engineered from an 80A shore material to provide a firmer-than-rubber alternative, while minimizing NVH commonly associated with poly bushings. As such, PowerFlex Street bushings are stiffer than the OEM bushings, but retain some compliance to be suitable for street driving.

The new "Race" (Black) bushes are manufactured from a 90A shore material to provide maximum stiffness at the same affordable cost of the Purple street material. We have added a Durometer Selection Guide that discusses this topic in more detail. For enthusiasts looking for the best geometry-preserving alternative without going to the expense of solid bronze bushings, PowerFlex Black Series offers the perfect solution. Ideally suited for AutoCross, PCA Club Racing, 944 Cup, Spec944, SCCA, and NASA racing classes (check your class rules, of course!).

PLEASE MAKE REAR BUSHINGS FOR THE 993!

That is all. Thank you.

+++++^^^^ on rear lower control arm bushes. ERP's bushings are just a "tad" expensive. Would like a reasonable price on a quality product for those of us that aren't lawyers, dentist or bankers.
Also ERP doesn't have rear lower control arm bushings, only the 3 links (camber, toe & kinematic)

Walrod bushings still sound like the best deal for the front.
$217 for just front urethane bushings seems pricey to my frugal mind.

+1 to Walrods.

TRINITONY

Nice avitar - is that a skimboard or surfboard?

OverBoosted28

Not a skimboard. Honolua Bay on Maui

TRINITONY

^ awesome!

Ed Hughes

Elephant Racing is not ERP. Totally different company.

OverBoosted28

Yes, your are correct. Elephant racing does not have rear lower control arm bushings. E.R.P. does have mono-***** for the rear lower control arms.

The Walrod bushings only include the polyurethane, and require you to reuse the old metal inserts, which often get damaged upon removal. The PowerFlex kits are superior because they include NEW STAINLESS STEEL inserts, which will not corrode like the OEM inserts.

This is one of the main reasons we picked up the PowerFlex line because they include all of the necessary steel inserts across the entire product range, which I have not seen with virtually any other poly bushing manufacturer.

When I did my Walrods there was no corrosion on the hats and they were easily removed and reinstalled without any damage.

My hats were corroded, but I drive it in Canadian winters, where salt and sleet and black of ice shall not stay the Driver from his appointed rounds.

Spent quite a bit of time cleaning them up, then zinc electroplating them with my DIY Home Chemistry set. New SS ones would have been nice and easy...

I'll try not to take things personally, and maybe I'm a bit biased, but it kind of seems like bad form to be redirecting people to a competitors product in an ad that I pay for.

I am a tiny player in the Porsche world, literally a one-man operation, and I don't make a living doing what I do with Ideola's Garage. As much as possible, I try to sell below full retail to encourage people to support the "little guy". But I pay the Rennlist sponsorship fees just like every other vendor for the privilege letting folks know about some of the great products I can provide.

That being said, I don't mind discussing what I view to be the strengths of the products I choose to offer. In this case, I believe the PowerFlex product to be the best quality polyurethane bushings on the market. And they back it up with a lifetime warranty, something that I have not seen from any other manufacturer.
