Hi Stuart,

I went with Super Pro bushings after riding in a car with the hard urethane (Prothane?) bushings - just my opinion but the urethane seemed to transmit a lot of vibration and the Super Pro pieces are made of a more pliable compound. Yet because my projects are still on jack stands, I have yet to experience the Super Pro pieces. If anyone can comment it would be great to hear.

There are a couple of part numbers for complete kits, depending on how complete you want to go:

5173K - All bushes including sway bar and shocks
5173k RG - All except sway bar and shocks

Please note that of the sellers who offer this kit, none include the upper front spring mount - part no. SPF1028-5K - and that was ordered separately. To complicate matters, a couple of sites list this part as a rear spring mount which it is definitely not.

I ordered mine from a place in the UK though it would certainly make more sense to source them locally as they are made in Australia - a great way to support the home team! Check out these links for TCD Automotive in the UK - if nothing else, these ebay listings include a complete list of the parts involved so you'd have a shopping list for your needs:

It's Thanksgiving Day here in the US and I have some pies to bake; no garage time today. Take care and best of luck.
