need these doing myself, the whole axle needs to be dropped :shocked:

Im going to replace with the standard ones, they've done a good job lasting 90k, at £20 a side, cant really complain. Think the cupra R ones are 50 each? dont think it'll make 'that' much difference upgrading to those, could be wrong though?  :undecided:

Have a look on UK MKIV's people on there have been fitting fabia Vrs bushes, meant to be very good and you can get them from AVS for about £10 each, also have front bushes on there very cheap, if you want a cheap fix. going to order mine tomorrow.
