the nolathane ones havea lot less give for offroad abuse,,,the rubber ones tend to flex alot more and sort of squese out of shape.....i just replaced all the bushes in my suspension for nolathane and couldnt be happier.....

Toyota 105 Series LandCruiser (that nobody on here wants to really hear about).
RX Touring Wagon - fitted out for 4WDing (currently collecting dust).
RX Project - will be road only at this stage (and currently taking way to long to finish).

Nolathane here too. You can make up for the increased stiffness with slightly reduced tire pressures.
Monster Subaru sold to a good home!! Still a Subaru owner. Will try stay in the Ausubaru loop. Sorry :cool:

yeah, Nolathane for me too. I'm working on replacing all of my rooted ones, and yes that control arm bush, 12 months.....
Anyone had any experience with the blue varieties, Super Pro and others? Some are softer, some are harder, but it depends on what you want and where you put them as to the end result. Have Nolathane got the diff mount out yet? Last I saw at Black Box, it was t.b.a.

The diff mount is about 4 to 6 weeks away before I release one, you won’t see any other one from Nolathane / Pedders etc. As I own the design.

The best three brands of Urethane are:
1. Nolathane.
2. Pedders.
3. Super Pro.

My web site (http://www.blackboxmotorsports.com) will be updated in the next 2 weeks with the new Nolathane catalogue & an online shop!
