My 350i is kicking it's front tyres out (that and other niggles). All the bushes look knackered and definitely need replacing. This should allow the car to go straight without me fighting it.
Should i replace with standard rubber or use more expensive polyurethane?? Where would i obtain Poly bushes.
(Car still makes me smile, even if wife thinks it is to LOUD)

Go with Poly (ooer) if you've got to change them. Superflex direct or through Demon Tweaks (Heard & {experienced} stories of Wedge/Tiv companies supplying incorrect or incomplete kits).

I also agree, go poly. Got mine last year from David Gerald and it's a nice improvement on my Tasmin.

I need to get some for mine.
Does anyone know what part numbers I need for the following if I get them from superflex direct or what sizes/names I should ask for?

1 - Front anti roll bar drop link bushes, (the ones that the roll bar slides into and the ones to the bottom wishbone)
2 - The A frame rear link bar bushes (the bit of bar that attaches the A frame to the out rigger - both ends)

Any help much apreciated, I have looked at some catalogues but I've got no idea what I need to get.
Gareth.

Go to Superflex web site and follow links and the full Wedge parts list and part numbers are present. If you can't get hold of them by phone try Demon Tweaks once you've got the part numbers of the above.
