Hello,
From others experience is it worth buying Polyurethane spring pads instead of the standard rubber type ?
Kind regards.

I fitted polyurethane spring pads and I have no complaints about them. I fitted them because I do not have much confidence in new rubber parts which seem to fail too quickly.

The poly spring seats are much better than the original rubber versions.
You can go one step better and fit the alloy spring seat plates from Peter May Engineering.
Or even two steps better fit the plates from the Minor commercial series which does away with the rubber spring seat altogether. Unfortunately they are no longer available but they can be made.
