best place to buy a full set of poly bushes

Post by jasongtr »

by best i mean cheapest (not rubbish ones - just good and cheap)

i need the full set except the arbs (whitelines to be fitted) and i already have the torque mounts for the engine, so its the front and rear suspension really

cheers

ATS racing in Texas - 91 quid (+18 in customs) and took about 2 weeks. If you can wait, it's worth it.

very well made and rigid, the set comes with all bushes needed (including ARBs which you can sell on to make a couple quid back) and the silicone fitting stuff. I've just had them fitted and there is no longer _any_ sound coming from the suspension.

considering most suppliers in the uk want 150+ for a set ATS has a good price and worth the wait.
