OEM bushes vs 'blue print' equivalent?
I'm looking to replace the lower front wishbone bushes on my 05 JDM STI blobeye.
I'm going to be using Group N parts for the rear bushes but have been advised to use standard bushes for the front.
I'm curious how much difference there can possibly be between ordering an OEM replacement which are £42 each from Sprinting Hare JDM and ordering a part off the shelf from any UK based parts supplier that would be about £15 for the pair.

Every experience I've had of aftermarket 'stock' style bushes is that they suck - either go Superpro, OEM, or in the case of Subaru, Group N. The pattern parts just don't get made to any great quality, they're built to a price and deteriorate way quicker than stock. For the effort I'd rather just use something that is guaranteed to work for more than 6 months.
