Hi Peeps,
I have a slight problem with a snapped Tension Rod. Darn it!.. The bushes on the car at the time were the poly type and since picked up in threads that this may have been a contributory factor leading to the rod snapping.
So far I’ve been pointed to a couple of options below (thanks fellas, much appreciated)

I’m thinking, keep the car stock, but after the experience of driving the car with a snapped rod at motorway speeds for some distance its put the jitters in me... I also live in Milton Keynes, famous for its roundabouts and love hitting them hard, it’s my own late night race track and wouldn’t want any jitters killing the fun. I digress.. lol.. back to topic.
Here’s where I’m at ATM, I’m concerned about putting poly back on (once bitten, twice shy kinda thing), thinking rubber with a stock rod or the Rod Kit with a stock rod (Semi Stock). The upgrade is still in the remit if there are benefits and extra safety to be gained. Another concern is with the stock option (ie rubber bushes) and whether they’ll be any sloppy handling.
Any help here, experiences, hugely appreciated peeps.
