      Yea we are talking about a 25 year old chassis. That is ancient when it comes to the aftermarket world of a cheap econo-box. It's easy to forget how old these things are getting and how small the market is for aftermarket upgrades. We just got lucky that the BF chassis is still popular enough in Australia to keep some companies making parts for them.

            No problem man, only took a few emails and phone calls. Turn In Concepts did all the hard work. I finally got around to putting the front bushings in tonight, but I haven't gone out driving to see what it feels like. I probably won't get the rear done until this weekend.

                  Got mine Tuesday, thanks again for organizing this. They appear to be pretty good quality, they don't have the groves for holding the grease but im not to worried about it.

                  Do we know how Tony feels about the group buy? Would he be interested in doing more products for us?

                    Does anyone live near to Linville NC? Maybe a group buy on some sway bars from addco?They've sold to locals previously.I'd be in for a set for sure.

                      Anyone installed the rear bushings yet? I'm working on it right now, but the crush sleeves seem to be completely wrong.

                        I haven't looked at the rears yet. They are still in a box on the shelf. Do you ave any pictures to show where the problem is?

                          first off, sorry for the margin rape...I am on my phone...

                          so all the crush tubes that will be removed from the stock bushings look like the one on the very right. just plain cylinders. However 4 of the 8 bushings in the kit have shoulders on them like the one pictured here. There is NO way to get these to fit on ANY of the lower control arm bushings. The bolts just arn't long enough. The ones with the shorter shoulder can be used, but i paid good money for these, and i'd like a perfect fit you know

                          problem #2, you can see on the left hand side that 2 of the bushings in the kit have a larger inside diameter than the other 6. The crush tubes that go to these are massively oversized for the stock bolts, so there is no way to use them without a different crush tube

                              Ouch, I haven't taken mine out of the box yet. Still just collecting parts. I hope this gets figured out.

                                I just spoke to Daniel at whiteline usa he said "if you can send in some pics,and some measurements of whats needed"the part# is for both fwd and awd
                                I got a bad feeling we got front wheel drive gear here,that fat steel spacer,does it not fit the lower strut on the front wheel drive,the bottom of the strut looks like a upside down u and the fat part keeps the u from getting squished.
