Definitely not Whiteline; both front and rear ones that I bought a year ago have rusted heavily, and the ball joints on each pair weren't matched in that one side was incredibly stiff whilst the other flopped about all loose.

for (fast_ road use then good quality std fronts are generally fine BUT on that year of car it likely has the Plastic "C" rear links which flex for fun so better upgraded IMO.......

Yes, your car should have that diff support.
Alyn at AS Performance will have bushes to go in there.

JDM uses 41310FE020 which is the same as a UK upto and including MY04 (MY05 onwards uses 4130FE060)
As far as I can tell the early version bushes are 55mm DIA x 41mm L
the later ones are 55mm DIA x 47mm L

That I couldn't say as I don't know the exact differences between the two versions
This is supposedly an image showing the 020 version.
