We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.
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.
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 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!
These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications
Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 suspension bushes fit the 1958 to 1961 car that everyone calls the Frogeye, or the Bugeye in America, after the headlamps that ended up sitting on top of the bonnet. Underneath the cheerful face is a seriously minimal car: no external boot lid, no door handles, and a rear axle located by quarter elliptic springs cantilevered off the chassis.
That rear end is unusual and it shapes what wears. With no rear shackle doing the work a conventional half elliptic spring would do, more of the axle’s movement is taken at the spring front and shackle bush, and the chassis itself flexes as part of the design. At the front, the wishbone, trunnion and anti roll bar bushes come as one kit shared with the Mk2, and the front upper trunnion bush is the one that most affects steering feel on a car weighing barely 600kg. There is nothing to mask slack in a Frogeye.
See the restyled Sprite Mk2 that shares this kit, the Sprite Mk3, or the Austin Healey range.
