Source for front control arm bushes?

[moniker]

My car is lowered, so it seems to chew out the stock bushes pretty quickly
I'm in Perth and would prefer to buy local if I can - anyone know of any local sources?
I'm ideally after urethane / heavy duty bushings.

As for online options, is ECS tuning the best best for urethane bushes and the like?
I'm assuming something like this would be the go?

You've hit the nail on the head with ECS.

Can also look at German Auto Parts.

TT solids are the go, popular choice, i get them for $44 each OEM

We're running a GB for ECS at present - check the sticky post in this section.

Urethane in the rear control arm bush will chew out faster than stock slotted bushes. Stick with the solid bonded rubber R32/TT bushes and replace the front bush with Urethane. Urethane isn't designed to move around the way that the rear bush does, it works best in a situation when a pin is through the centre and the bush pivots around it.

Keith, you have a PM.

The kit shown here doesnt have the D bushes for the sway bar Geoff. You are needing them by the sounds and plenty of high temp grease
