Looks pretty straight forward matey... That'll be another job to finish this year, whilst replacing those front droplinks (which I still haven't ordered yet)... and adding the Porsche brake bits I bought, (nearly two years ago), whilst the front end is in the air... Looking increasingly unlikely that my car will be seen much this year... The lord only knows when I will find time to do any of it at the moment... Ho Hum!

I noticed that one today as well, however, I also noted the word of caution in one of the other threads regarding longevity - as the rubber bushes soak up some of the road noise that otherwise goes into the track rod ends.

Worth noting I guess, but considering the mileage most of our cars do, it probably won't be too much of a problem.. Got a set sat in a box here, so will be giving them a go at some point.

Mmm, I also read that they could put more stress on other parts of the suspension (wishbone and control arms)

I dont think Ile bother with that mod, Polly bushes are a good compromise between OEM and solid.

Its each to his own. I was/am seriously tempted to do the ally bushes when I ordered from ipsco but on reflection and with the current road surfaces I currently plan on a new set of oem...

Great for the track but they will increase road noise through the steering into the cabin.

I have recently lost the comp coup gear change and the billet cross member and the mounting....its so much quieter and easier to live with.

If track days are your bag then go for it................
