Limiter Kit - Rogue Engineering OR Turner??

cslbecks · 28-10-2008, 05:12 PM

Im getting the RTAB Limiter Kit fitted and ive heard that Rogue Engineering also provide the same/similar kit as the Turner one.
Are these really both the same/do the same job - or is one better than the other??
I believe that CA supply the Rogue one and Simpsons supply the Turner one.
Any views or advice greatly appreciated.

If you're getting the work done at Simpsons, I suggest that you go with the Turner's version. Simpsons obviously choose to stock the Turner one for a reason.

Are you getting the bushes themselves changed at the same time?

I dont think my bushes will need changing - the cars only done 16k - but will get them to check them and if they need doing i will get them replaced also.
I just wondered if anyone had had the Rogue Limiter kit fitted??

If you're going to the hassle and cost of having the limiting kit fitted, you'd be daft to not change the bushes at the same time. IIRC, the bushes themselves cost around £15 and the additional labour shouldn't be that much.

I would even go as far to say that Simpsons will advise you to fit new bushes anyway. They certainly did when I bought the limiting kit off them recently.

Yes - i wont scrimp if they need doing - but dont really see the point if they are ok?? Its not the cost of the bushes, its the extra labour - but as i said i wont scrimp if they need doing - knowing me i will most likely get them done anyway so i know everythings fresh etc. Thanks as always Bravo for your help and advice.

It's literally a 5 minute job to swap them out/in as they will have already disconnected the rear trailing arm anyway to do the limiter kit. Minimal extra labour...

ok - cool - will most likely get them done then regardless!

only sensible answer tbh

the bushes could fail the day you drive out as very hard to pick up the start of the fault

mine went at 18k miles

Powerflex RTABs are the best you can buy

they are poly-urethane. they are stiff, but also have some play so you won't be killing yourself when your car creaks non stop (like it would with the Rogue RTABs)

My car had covered well under 16k and had busted bushes and a broken rear spring!
