Hi all,
Just started having a look round for a set of bushes for my H120. Want to get the back done first as they are a bit noisy and was going to use polybush style ones but have just seen the prices, one retailer is asking £96 for the 2 front leaf spring bushes .
Anyone have any better leads? Would very much prefer polybush but at those prices may have to stay standard if they can be found.

We've always used Superflex before...
This is the excentric bush front of the leaf spring for £80 (listed under Alpine SIV etc..)

Thanks Thomas,
Yes thats 1 of the sites I looked at. I think maybe I've been a bit spoiled by the MGOC, I did a complete Midget in yellow polybush and I don't think it cost much more than just the bushes for the leaf springs. Looks like I need to order the top and bottom of the shackle separately also.
Oh well needs must I suppose.
