According to that list there is only 12 bushes in that 'full' car kit, there are way more than that

Front requires,
2x ARB
2x control arm front
2x control arm rear(alk)
4x droplink(if solid links)
Roll centre kit(2x track rod ends & 2x lower ball joint)
Steering rack kit(2 bushes)

Rear
2x trailing arm front
2x trailing arm rear(hub)
8x lateral arm
2x ARB
4x droplinks(if solid)
2x diff bushes
2x t-bar(outrigger)

Then you have the subframe bushes for diff , gearbox and gearbox shifter bushes and engine/gearbox mounts and pitch stop if you wanna go the whole hog lol

I thought the same mate, a whole lot of bushes missing!

Paul, thanks mate. PM me what you have, if it's a good price I'll probably take the lot.
Think I'll give Alyn a phone to get a price for everything.

The cars nearly 17 years old, i've owned it for 7. I have never replaced a bush which might sound bad but it's been ok so far. I just think it's time to change them. I'd rather replace all including the bolts now and I know it's done but would like to do it right rather than waste money, i've already done that many times over with other bits.

Advice is always much appreciated

When it say 1x XXXXXXXXX. there could be 8 bushes included in that , for example one of those will be lateral arm link which includes 8 bushes ,

You will have to go to super pro website and see exactly what is included in each of those part numbers ,

As for bolts I'm not sure the best way to go about that , there is the option of having some bolts zinc plated ,

See silver Scooby sports rebuild thread to see the results of that ,

I'd phone import car parts they will probably help you out , I'd guess they could supply bolts as well

Edited to add , the kit will be for all suspension bushes , it won't include engine mounts etc

If you notice you have listed 12 parts that need bushes , the 12 part numbers on import car parts may well be all of those 12

AS Performance

we do various options although its often most cost effective to start with one of the 'kits' and then spec certain extra's as required
we would tailor the "kit" depending on wether its road, track, competition use.........

I'm looking for the full kit minus the droplink bushes and sway bar mount bushes , or if you can supply sway bars and the bushes and front drop links ,

Sway bars I'm thinking standard sizes but adjustable , car is a version 6 sti , my00 ,

Fast road , performance over comfort , it's not a daily driver

But I doubt it very much, I have a fully bushed car and you won't do it on that price

...and do they expect you to keep clicking from page to page to cross reference their **** poor sales advert

gary77

iTrader: (1)

I'm pretty sure it will be every bush for the suspension ,

The kit consists of

Spf1390 control arm lower inner front
Spf1387 control arm lower inner rear
Spf2358 front gearbox crossmember isolater mount
Spf1972 steering rack and pinion mount
Spf1384 front drop link
Spf1383-19 front arb mount
Spf1463 rear control arm inside and outside
Spf1384AK rear drop link
Spf1978 rear crossmember supplement washer

Just a tip, the bushes may differ from manufacture in stiffness so go off the rating of them, they use the 'Shore scale' the higher the rating(number) the harder the bush

i'm looking for information nd prices on group n bushes before i spend the cash

The rear trailing arm bush (the one in the hub) is awkward to change with replacement rubber. You might consider a 2-peice urethane in that position?

gary77

iTrader: (1)

i'll keep that in mind, might have a look for a how to on you tube .

i'm waiting untill i remove the struts and i'll decide by then what suspension i'm going with , still cant make my mind up between the wr and p11

once i get started on the car i'll hopefully be more desisive lol . only couple of weeks untill i get the keys to the new house and i can sort out the garage
