Default Bushings

I'm about to pull the trigger for 109.99 + overseas postage for a yellow bushing kit for my D1. Anybody know of a better deal ?
Something inside the U.S. would certainly be better than getting them from across the pond...

Thanks

John

Britpart is the name on the box..
Seems to be a complete set including the shock bushinngs.

They answered my first email promptly. And quoted a better price..
So I asked them to paypal invoice me.. We'll see how it goes.
They seem to have a 99.9 rating so I'm hopeful it will work out.

Once I've locked mine in, I'll post a link to the kit..



More tomorrow when I will hopefully have it locked in.. Anybody see any problems here ???

Thanks

John

Britpart is known as ****part for a reason. There are plenty of negative ****part bushing reports on the web. Search around. OEM and Polybush are good quality.

So then, who's holding decent quality bushings at a good price ?
Trevor isn't showing any on his website.

British Pacific, Atlantic British, Rovers North, or Lucky 8

Watch out for Allmakes and ProLine bushings. They're awful too. The Allmakes PR2 line MIGHT be ok. Their regular non-PR2 stuff is chinese crap.

Make sure you research the difference between rubber and poly bushings too. Orange aka dynamic, is most commonly recommend if you go polybush.

Rovers North has the best price going on Orange Polybush sets at the moment.
