Don't order them Gez, get this kit for the ARB instead: http://delorean-parts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=DPNW&Product_Code=K1006DP

Pisspots. Sorry Dan, I somehow completely missed this post. Chris has now got a pair of the superflex bushes - I hadn't realised (still havent had enough of a chance to poke around underneath my D) that I needed additional ones to the ones that Superflex sell. So I've emailed DPNW to see if they can sell me the 4 I need separately.
If it'll be difficult or prohibitively expensive I may take Chris's recommendation and put normal bushes back in. I suspect that most of the difference with replacing bushes is simply going from old/shagged out to new/firm. I don't know how much them being poly makes in practice. Enough to spend an extra £80 on? That's the question isn't it...!

If you can send the superflex polly ones back and get the DPNW kit complete that would be better. Nice to have it all matching.
I havn't driven my car yet with the new bushes, but they are rock hard compared to the originals, which can only be a good thing if it helps stop those front arms bending all over the place when braking.. I think Bozzy and Julian has this kit and Alastair does too. I've only heard good things about it.
Have you just got the 2 that the antiroll bar mounts to the chassis with? I'm sure superflex do the 4 that go in the arms as well because Ed sells those.
