20min jobs tops by the looks of it Mit - just need to know what size bushes to get and il do it

If you jack your car up, slide yourself under to about where the subframe is, you cant miss it, looks like 4 x 12mm's, mounts off, old bushes out, new bushes in, mounts on!

meant to improve steering response!

I'll have to measure mine to see what size they are, sounds like another worthwhile cheap mod!

They should be 30mm, and if your going with Whiteline the part number should be ksr202. And yes they make a serious improvement in steering feel. Great mod for the price!!
