    are the front and rear bushings the same size and all that??

    is it possible to use the rear bushings on the front?

    hey all, i have just put on the front bushings and it already makes SUCH a difference. took it for a spin and im impressed. feels much more stiff into the corners and hold better. plus it doesnt feel loose anymore! hahaha

    id highly advise anyone who hasnt upgraded them to do it when you get the chance!

    ill do the rear on the weekend!

    well, in aussie dollars it cost me $14.50 for the front and $14.50 for the back, for decent polyurethane ones. they made such a difference on my car for some reason! maybe it was cause the ones i took off were in the worst state, so depending on how badly yours are worn now, it will either be really noticable or maybe not...

    but seriously for 30 bucks or so, you cant go wrong, plus they are prob 20+ yrs old anyways and need replacing!
