Oh and just for clarification - the reason the ES bushes are so cheap compared to Superflex is because ES don't use stainless steel crush tubes. ES use a zinc coated mild steel which can/does and will rust - in time this does cause wear to the bushes.

The Type SH upper control arm bushes are correct for "our" non SH 5th gen upper control arms but the front lower control arm bushes are wrong (unless you have a Type S in which case they are correct)
Awesome cheers for the info. That clears that up :D

SiR Si you need the the upper control arm bushes from the 16.3119 Front Control Arm Bushings - Type SH kit. Or if you can get them separatley 4 x 3439 upper control arm bushing & 4 x 15.10.408.39 upper control arm sleeve.
