Default Audi Coupe 2ltr 16v - Rear beam removal/Bush replacement

Hi guys,

As per the subject, I have an Audi Coupe 2ltr 16v, which I'm hoping to replace the suspension over this weekend. I've decided to give PowerFlex poly bushes a go, in the kit I've got some rear beam bushes. Has anyone here replaced their rear beam bushes, preferably with polys, and if so what's involved?

In fact, if anyone has any advice on fitting any of the parts listed below, I'm all ears, as this is fairly new to me, I replaced the same stuff on my Mk1 Golf GTI cabriolet last year, but only went for standard bushes, but I am by no means a mechanic, I simply read the stuff guys on the internet post and go from there

For those of you that might be interested I've purchased the following bits...

Weitec Ultra GT shocks and springs (40mm)
PowerFlex front and rear bush kit
SuperFlex subframe bushes
Ball joints/track rod ends/top mounts/ARB connecting rods/Nuts/Bolts - All from Audi

Its not cheap. Probably going to handle like a rollerskate, but at the same time rattle all my fillings :/

thanks in advance

Rog

Just recently replaced my front wishbone bushes with Powerflex ones, on a 95 Coupe.
I found when trying to push the wishbones back into the subframe, the white washers had to both go on the outsides of the bushes, as the metal insert moved when pushing into the mounting points.
