tut, there is only 4 bushes in the pack which is enough for one wishbone so you need to times it by 8 for the whole car. Not cheap fecking expensive way of doing it. I will have a set of lightly used ones shortly if your thinking what I think your thinking :thumbsup

Bloody con, missed that. I have Nylatrons in N1. As they would have to be removed for sandblasting and powder coating, can they be refitted if in good condition?

yup they are very expensive I have nylatrons on mine, made them for nothing as my work paid for the nylatron./silver steel the eliseparts ones are fairly priced to be honest. but they will ruin your ride quality.

I have a full set in the garage, I bought them when I was having problems with my LSD thinking it was the bushes.

Don't think i will need them for a while.

Does Randy not do a proper rose joint kit now? I thought I read about it getting good reviews, maybe thats the same idea as you are fitting mike?

Not sure how easy they are to fit mind you. Looks like you need to freeze them so the become a press fit. Will post up some pic's and description at some point IICBA (if I can be @rsed) :lol:
