Rear Axel Bushes help

[mcgee9t2]

Anyone know how much rear axel bushes are?

and ive never done them before so if anyones done theres and fancy lending a hand for a few beer tokens would be much appreciated (based in darlo so anywere around darlo/boro area) dont want to get stuck/pay a garage a stupid amount to do it... or anyone know a garage around my area that will replace them cheepish? or how much vw charge?


also heard the fabia vrs bushes fit? are these uprated/better or would i just be wasting money to get them?

also would it be easier to do axel bushes and coilovers at the same time rather than fiting the coilovers then the axel bushes? and when lowering should i replace topmounts too?



cheers

cheers rich, had a look around but could only find threads from like 2007 and thought the price might have changed since, you know how much garages charge (rough price)? seems like a bit of a PITA job to do...
