The up graded bushes sharpen the steering up a lot better

Superpro Anti Lift Kit (S-ALK) is better quality than the Whiteline product which has split in several cases on the forum.

IIRC it's also cheaper  :happy2:

I love the improvement that the SuperPro ALK did to my steering and handling.

I'm considering getting the SuperPro roll centre correction & camber adjustment ball joints to tweak the camber and raise the roll center. :smiley:

Thinking of getting the console bushes done whilst having some work on my suspension next week. Someone has suggested these Febi bushes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FEBI-33973-Control-Arm-Trailing-Arm-Bush-Front-Axle-left-or-right-Rear-/401068007308?hash=item5d61841f8c:g:x5MAAOSw~OVWt70o

From what I gather they need to be replaced into the existing housing, is this a hard job? Would I be better just forking out for the SuperPro ones rather that messing with these? Bit confused as the price difference is quite a bit.

edit:do just the rears need doing also?
