From a handling point of view ARB bushes, Trailing arm front and rear(hub) bush, rear diff...but there are quite a few when you start

What do you drive? Classic or Newage? Are you doing the work yourself?

Mine failed it's MOT in August on rear subframe bushes. That's not something I can do, bushes need pressed into the subframe.

Got the bushes from Alyn, along with the bushes for the trailing arms. Couple of hundred quid just there...

Drive a v2 jdm classic. I wont be doing it myself, iv got a decent friendly garage i use how many bushes are needed for both trailing arms? Did you get standard or polybush? And how can i contact Alyn? Looking at buying tomorrow. Il spend around £300 on bushes that i need and that will benefif the car.

Ive been looking at this 10pc rear arm set from hardrace. Any good?

Call him on 0191 4103770

Problem you will have is that bolts will need cutting out, other bushes will need replaced, then it all starts adding up.

What about the hardrace 10pc rear arm set in the picture? Kikl a few birds with that and then get the rear subframe bushes done and have a look at what else needs doing

These are all the bushes I have done mine, makes the car much stiffer and positive to drive but would not recommend for a daily driver and there is about £700 there in just parts:

Super pro roll centre kit
Chevron motorsport machined front alloy newage arms complete with poly bushes
Whiteline heavy duty rack mounts
Whiteline subframe lock kit
Whiteline castor bushes
Whiteline adj lateral arms
Whiteline rear diff support outrigger bush
Whiteline diff cradle bushes
Whiteline arb collars F & R
Whiteline trailing arm bushes F&R
Whiteline bush kit control arm inner front

I can't comment on it, since I have no experience of it. Strange that it's got front drop links pictured with it though.

The could be good, they could be utter rubbish.

On top of parts I got off Alyn, there was over £300+vat of OEM bolts and bushes needed for mine. That's partly because I had a freshly powder coated subframe to go on, mind.

that mucg for bolts..think il just change them if they are corroded and need doing. The subframe could do with a lick of powdercoat but not yet,

Your car is a similar age to mine, there's a good chance they'll be seized solid and need a lot of heat and/or cutting to get some of them out. Especially the massive ones that go through the bottom of the hub.

What il do is il ring alyn because im sure he does that hardrace kit, and il ask for all new bolts to go with that kit, dont want to be stuck without any bolts if they need drilling out...not looking forward to the bill

I was stuck having to get bolts and bushes from a main dealers, because Alyn had the audacity to go on holiday. The cheek of it.

They'll possibly be cheaper from him.
