Nope forget I asked that
I can see. Much benefit with walk over just uprated bushes.

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

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.

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?

So that's vote for the SuperPro then!
Anyone know if these fit the mk5?
