as ToranaGuy said. i get trade. so my prices can't be used as a guide.
i just bought the bushes i needed really. the old ones are always a prick to get out. they've been in there for a long time. the superpro ones are easy to get in. use the press to get the flared edge passed the opening. then the rest pushes in by hand. The eb has had superpro sway bar link and D bushes for 2 years. never had any issues. it also has a superpro camber kit and watts link and upper trailing arm bushes. they're awesome. the EB will be getting superpro castor rod front bushes when i replace the lower control arm bushes

main thing is to grease (with the proper stuff) only the parts that are supposed to move and make sure all parts ere clean with no rough edges before install

I've finally gotten motivated and got stuck into getting this on the road. I sold my Valiant for a decent sum. So that money is going straight into the SVO.
I finally fitted the trailing arms and Watts link pictured above. Also it was at the exhaust joint today. Got Pacemakers fitted, 100 cell cat and a 3.5" dump tip. I have it booked in with the paintless dent removal guy next Thursday. Get rid of all the parking dents and dents in the boot lid. Then all that's left to do is replace the rear calipers with already rebuilt units i have in the shed, replace lower ball joints, replace windscreen and get a spot of rust fixed above the windscreen. Then that's it. ready for roady and rego. pics of Pacies and dump tip

Got the rear calipers changed over after work yesterday. now the handbrake works
 and another thing crossed off the listBut when it come to bleeding the brakes. the front bleed nipples were blocked solid and ran out of time to be able to clean them out at work. I'll get onto that soon.

got my a*** into gear, again, to try get this on the road before C4C. Replaced the injectors with standard units (had AU ones in it) as they were leaking. Got it up on stands, and pulled the front stubs out to replace all ball joints. Plus now also the front calipers have seized up (probably from sitting for so long) so i'll get them rebuilt.

Hi i noticed you have the same steering wheel in your EA SVO as my ED XR8 Sprint. i thought it was just an aftermarket Momo wheel, do you have any more information on them?
thanks

Nice score on the new parts. I take it the exhaust is for a turbo setup down the track?
Cheers ToranaGuy
