A quick question to the people in the know. Are the superpro bushes sold by robsport the same as the superflex. Also just found these on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-St...item4160d30aed Any good?? I need to buy a set.

AFAIK SuperPro are different to the ones sold by Superflex (they are made by Chris Witor).

Whilst I have not used the ones in your link, on previous cars Superflex bushes offered a superior fit over cheap bushes and ride. On my Spitfire similar yellow bushes gave a hard ride, a friend's Dolly Sprint did not locate all that well, and on my Spitfire, some yellow bushes (from a well known Triumph Supplier) actually had play in the diff mounts (a specialist told me he had seen this a few times previously).

Hi Rob, the yellow bushes are VERY hard, they do the Stag's ride no favours at all. Go for dark blue, the same compliance as the originals but the advantages of poly. Personally, I'd go for main suppliers, it's as true as it ever was, you get what you pay for. Martin.

Thanks guys
I think I will go with the Robsport Superpro kit as it seams the simplest way to buy. Plus I have used Robsport before and they are always helpful.

Hi Dave

Chris Witor is an expert, I would trust what he sells. I trust Peter of LD parts, who also sells Superflex.

Forgive me for repeating myself, but after driving a Mk1 PI Saloon (a similar setup to the Stag) which was fully Superflex it has to be one of the best Triumphs I have ever driven. Smooth as silk over even bumpy roads in the Longford/Keresley part of Coventry yet being planted in the bends. Bar the cost of Superflex bits it seemed that one could have their cake and eat it. It persuaded me in going for Superflex bushes in certain areas of the car.

FWIW besides Witor, Wards, LD Parts, and Tony Hart sell them .

I've had Superflex (originally from HRS) for years - they are red and still perfect from the day fitted and do wonders for the handling and ride!
