I bought mine from these guys Mike:

http://www.larkspeed.com/

£288.50 for a full set, link here

Prices were very good, cheaper than any TVR suppliers that I found.

Having said that Steve Heath seems to be offering a bolt and bush kit for £267.23, which seems to be VERY good, link here, but it doesn't include the diff kit, which Larkspeeds kit does.

I assume you're talking about polybushes?

Thanks Tim. Yes polybushes. No other sensible options are there?

Thanks

Not as far as I'm aware.

Certainly work well on my car.

The cars that have 22 ARBs have 22 ARBs and the cars that have 25 have 25... smile

There doesn't appear to be any common sense pointers on this as I have seen cars that should have had 22 with 25s and vice versa. I have even seen one 28!
Best advice is to measure. BTW Larkspeed were sending out the wrong ones as Polyflex had got the listing wrong. I had to sort out the customer in the end. Perils of going to a non TVR source I suppose.

Unlike Larkspeed when I spoke to them, I keep them in stock and can put together packages depending on what you want to do.

Out of interest and not wanting to transgress any forum rules, but what is the comparative price of yours with the diff kit included like larkfield?

I'm not actually in any dire need but it might be worth future proofing with a complete kit on my shelf.

Larkspeed were very good when I ordered. No complaints here.

But, as Steve has said they didn't have them in stock.

Julian, Jools sells them at £65 a set, but I'm sure I've seen them closer to £50.

Link to TCS: here

Right, another source is Motorsport world, click here for a breakdown of individual bush cost.

And, from my website, here's what you need:

TT you are very helpful, and very scary, all at the same time.

Admit it, you drew that picture yourself, didn't you smile
