best off using new standard ones, they will increase vibrations a fair bit.

Got a complete set of Polysport bushes from Rally Design. About half the price of Powerflex.

What is your suspension setup Andy?
My mechanic is always telling me to not fit the Poly bushes because they're very harsh, and I have Eibach springs plus Koni yellows (awful ride!!), so I don't want a rock solid suspension

It destroyed my balljoints! (I mean the Portuguese roads

I honestly didn't notice the poly bushes to be that harsh; firm yes, harsh no. I run Bilstein sprintline shocks, custom 190lb springs at front and Eibach springs at the rear. But than I have a rollcage, which spreads the load out, so I don't know how this setup would work on a standard Corsa

They can be a pain to fit, you need to butcher/press out your old ones.
