308 GT4 Suspension - Hard Bush upgrade advice please

Its worth calling SF and getting their perspective on the two bush types.

When I talked to them, they said their softer bushes were firmer than the factory ones. They were quite proud of their rubber formulation.

They told me that their hard bushes were for track use and that I probably wouldn’t like them on a road car.

FWIW the new bushes really transformed the handling on my car but most of the effect was probably just because my original bushes were so badly worn and any new ones would feel better.

 

FWIW - I used the standard Superformance bushings on my GT4. I replaced during a thorough chassis freshening service. No complaints. The quality is very nice. I too was curious about the harder bushings, but I'm a big believer in following the factory recipe as much as possible, and the cars handle fantastic as delivered.

Another F-chatter buddy suggested to me when I spoke with him about the harder bush was to look into the higher ratio steering rack which makes the car feel more responsive. Makes sense, but I didn't pursue it as I stuck with my previous comment. IIRC - I think Niki Lauda provided guidance in tuning the 308's (?).
