They aren't pricey at all, you're getting a lot of high quality bush, if you look at polybush kits for tintops you'll see they cost around £70 and up per axle!

To be honest I think its a reasonable price, but my dad(who im building the car with), thinks its expensive! but being as im paying for them, i might just get them anyway! What coilovers do builders generally use? Ive just bought a set of gaz coilovers for mine.

I think you can also get the bushes from Rally Design.
Doubt they'll be any cheaper though

Gaz are used regularly but I've been hearing a lot about gaz struts leaking recently (have a search and you'll see what I mean) then again, lots of people have them and haven't had problems. Good luck with the build.

The Rally Design bushes I have are 46mm stainless steel crush tubes to suit 1/2" bolts not 44mm crush tubes and 12mm bolts as the haynes Roadster uses.

One thing I'm not keen on is the 3GE bushes are rock solid!

Saturn Sports Cars also sell them, both Andy's are a great pair and will go well out of their way to ensure you have a good experience with their products.

i bought the gaz shocks and to be honest, the plating has started to look like its failing and they arent even on the car yet

did you have any joy with 3GE ?

just asking as been trying to contact them but they dont reply to emails?

damned annoying as I need to order bushes, but dont want a full set, only enough to do the rear, been asking them about hardnes and stock of wishbones etc for a few days but no reply
