Poly/Delrin Bushings?

Right then, my control arm bushings are shot on the front, seeming as im doing them I thought i may aswell replace the rear too.. seen some on ebay for the energy kit (front and rear control arms (hyperflex kit)

Just wondered if anyone knew of any cheaper or better ones out there? I also need shipping to the UK any help would be appreciated.

186 bucks.... but its the best rear kit i've seen.. uses a spherical bearing, comes with all new guts.



I have a kit sitting in my tool box that i'll put on here when the cars goes up in the air for its winter "coma"!!!!

My rear control arm bushings are SHOT... When I launch the freakin car hard, i hear this loud "Crack" from behind either seat.. Upon inspecting the toe in setting, which is an indexing cam bolt integrated into the rear control arm mount, I found that this large "Crack" is the stock cam bushing slipping... everytime i set it.. its good untill i launch hard and then it slops right back to where it was..

If I'm going to all the trouble of raplacing those damn things... I'm going to tear the whole rear end out and re-place EVERYTHING.. subframe mounts, Diff mount, control arm mounts and solid DSS bushings.. screw it, then it'll be done, done all at once, and done right!!
