What Do The Different Grades Mean?

When There’s No Option Available:

We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.

Comfort (Blue 65A):

Our Comfort grade bushes are designed to enhance ride quality and minimise road noise, making them ideal for everyday driving. They are softer, providing maximum suspension articulation and a cushioned feel that absorbs bumps and vibrations effectively. This softer composition ensures a smoother, quieter driving experience, especially in Classic cars or Land Rovers. Comfort bushes maintain a balance between originality and ease of driving, catering to those who value a relaxed Factory-Fresh drive.

Dynamic (Orange 75A):

The Dynamic grade bushes offer a middle ground between Comfort and Performance. They are slightly firmer than the Comfort bushes, which improves handling and cornering response without sacrificing too much ride comfort. These bushes are ideal for drivers who enjoy a more engaging driving experience while still needing a level of comfort for daily use, whilst also being suitable for spirited driving & light track use.

Performance (RED 85A):

Performance grade bushes are the stiffest of the three, designed for enthusiasts who demand the utmost in handling and control. They offer minimal deflection, enhancing vehicle response and stability during aggressive driving. These bushes are perfect for high-performance or track vehicles where precision and handling are critical. While they might sacrifice some ride comfort, they deliver superior driving dynamics and control, ideal for those who push their vehicle to its limits – Including Towing!

Machinable Material:

These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications

The first-generation Audi R8 (422, 423) coupe from 2007 to 2015 is a mid-engined supercar with double-wishbone suspension at each corner, and precise bushes are central to the pin-sharp handling that defines it. As the original rubber ages or a car sees track use, owners often want to restore or upgrade that accuracy.

Each wishbone relies on its bushes to hold the geometry under high cornering loads, so any softness lets camber and toe drift, dulling turn-in and allowing uneven tyre wear. On a car developed for the limit, even small amounts of compliance blunt the feedback and stability that make the R8 so rewarding to drive.

Our polyurethane bushes for the R8 422 tighten the geometry and sharpen response while standing up to the heat and hard use these cars invite, lasting far longer than the factory rubber. They suit both fast road and track builds. See the R8 Spyder range, the newer R8 4S bushes, or the wider Audi selection.
