need 8 of those


 Shock bushing

Metal sleeve 32mm deep
Width of bushing 24mm
Need 2 of the above
 All above metal sleeved


Roll bar linkage
8mm internal diameter
25mm external
10mm deep
Pure rubber
8 of those


 Side to side dif linkage thingy
12mm internal
30mm external
40mm deep
Metal sleeve inside metal bush
Need 4 of the above


 Roll bar bushings
15mm internal
30mm external
25mm deep
Need 2 of above (see photo)

Are there full kits available? i\'ve looked on the net today for a while and i cant find anything really. Is it worth Poly\'ing? im sure its going to be very expensive to get all those made.

Thanks!
Ross.

As above, email Billy at respeed he responds quickly everytime and ships over here. Or try Clive, he might do kits but I\'m sure he\'d point you in the right direction if not-clicky on his banner up top and it\'ll take you to it.

You don\'t want to go 100% poly though-you need to get some standard type as they are designed to have a bit of give-can\'t remember which struts that applies to but I\'m sure someone will tell you.

The polybushes seem to be very good. Been running full polybushes for over 12 months without any hassles.

The full kit isn\'t silly money either !

Who was that from and how much?

shaunwil

The respeed Energy ones. Could be nearer 2yrs of use thinking about it becase they cost 100 ish all with postage and the dollar was almost 2 to 1 !

Did you leave any of yours with standard bushes or are you 100% poly.

That was a mistake letting us know about that Ross, you better take an empty suitcase with you as I want the ReSpeed coilover kit haha.

shaunwil

I swapped all the bushes in the full kit. Don\'t think there was much of the original stuff left !
