Anyone know where to get a rubber bush kit for 1983 MK1
My MK1 has polybush suspension - anybody know where I can get a full rubber bush kit for it. It is a 1983 Mk1 GTI?
Thanks to everyone who has replied.
It seems that there are only polubush kits out there. I'm tying to get my MK1 back to standards set up - just changed the suspension from a racing suspension to standard but my car had=s been pulybushed and I would like to get it back to rubber because polybush it too hard.
If anyone knows where I can get a standard rubber system it would be good to know.

I went with this kit http://www.strongflex.eu/en/volkswagen-golf-i/1479-suspension-bush-kit-5902553521658.html
Only fitted the front so far, about 3000 miles ago, but the fit was excellent and so far I'm very happy with it, and the price is good too.

I have not seen a comprehensive rubber kit as such but have slowly been buying new rubber bushes via suppliers from ebay. Its just a case of searching for what you need. Go for Febi or other OEM and you can't go far wrong.

Just realised, I misread your post, thought you were looking for polybush's, sorry. That said, the kit I linked to whilst they are poly are not a hard bush set and are supposed to equate to the the firmness of rubber, which in my experience so far they certainly do.

Not to get the discount as part of being a Mk1 member you don’t. So as long as your a Mk1 member you should be able to see the members pages.. on there is a membership code which they will want & then apply it to your vw heritage account
