That's a lot of "dosh" for two bushes !

I can appreciate they are probably not a high volume seller, do also fit somewhere on Wedges (and Deloreans), is Polyurethane itself an expensive product or are we just being spanked because they've got 'em and no one else has ?



That's my gripe for the day

I saw those and decided the originals didn't need replacing after all, it's over £100 for the trailing arm bushes that's why I'm keen to remove mine without damaging them. Way
Overpriced

Even the original rubber ones were approaching that from TVR car parts when they were around iirc so the superflex rear trailing arm bushes aren't that bad in comparison (although I agree with the diff bush comment!!). I replaced my trailing arm bushes using ones sourced from the manufacturer and was lucky to get the last 4 on his shelf (he would only make batches of 100 or more so needed another large volume order to manufacture more) and even buying from him was around £50 direct from factory (£8.50 each plus vat plus delivery) without the middle man mark-up.

In sum I would have thought that the £95 Mike paid was reasonable value

I stand corrected it was about 95 quid I spent, still think it's too much the rubber ones didn't work out a lot cheaper though.
