30% is a good discount (possibly more than i can get!!). I would only advise getting the rear susp arm bushes although personally I would actually say only fit r32 rear arm bushes and keep some compliance and softness.

Maybe I'm getting old but poly bushes are a bit too hard for my liking (b.t.w post a price on some of the bushes as I'm interested to know if my prices are still good  :wink:)

Change the rear wishbone arm bush to TT/R32 ones. better than powerlfex.

It's not the cost of the bushes but the fitting. Personally I prefer Superpro.

i work in a garage with all the equipment to push out the bushes so cost is no matter to me.
also i have a spare set of wishbones to do this to and as the ball joint are removable no need to buy new wishbones also mechanic here charge so little im getting clutch and flywheel done for £100 i supply parts and living walking distance makes it Evan better   :laugh:
