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

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 |

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
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. :eek: That's partly because I had a freshly powder coated subframe to go on, mind. |

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.

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.

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. :thumb: |
