Anyone recommend any particular kits for replacing the rear suspensions bushes?
Theres a few kits on ebay, just wondered if anyone had used any/recommended a specific brand

Many good kits out there, all doing very much the same thing.
I'm running Prothane bushes all round on mine and very happy with them. Much cheaper than most of the name brands too.

Order the kit from Amazon US. Last time I checked it worked out at around £110 delivered, all tax paid etc.

I bought a complete front and back from SBITS for around that price above but that was maybe 4 years ago.
If you want to contact Pete @ sbits he may not reply too quick as I seem to remember he goes to lemans and that is this weekend I think.

Last time I checked (a couple years ago now) he was more expensive *and* didn't come with ARB bushes.

You are right about the arb bushes and I seem to remember he had a deal on as he got a few kits in.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
Apologies for the slow reply. I also got mine from SBITS. Can't remember exactly how much, but im pretty sure it was very similar to the amazon price Gaz has posted

looks like the one, and it looks like its front and rear. Dont mind ordering from Amazon USA as im on no rush at all. be good to get all the bushes off to refurb all the suspension components
It says total kit, but is it really everything i need to refresh the front and rear end? seems cheap compared to the super pros ive had expeirence with on mx5's

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
well ive ordered. £101 including shipping and taxes. why not
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
the kit doesn't include the rear toe bushes. the inner ones are easy enough to find but the outer ones in the hub are harder to track down. think I'm going to get 14mm bolt toyota ones.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
That's because they are not bushes, they are bearings. Personally I wouldn't replace the inner with a bush.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
cheers guys, 4th august the kit arrives.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
Kit arrived yesterday. May try and tackle some of them today
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rear suspension bush kits
Have you got some measuring calipers? If so could you measure the thickness of the washers, and the inner and outer diameter? I've lost the washers from my kit 😕
