Gday All,
Tried reading several threads and seems some point towards the RRS having better rear suspension bushes than the D3.
I’m about to order upper and lower arms and although happy with what the D3 came with , if there is something better then , especially when it comes to towing then I will likely lean that way.
Cheers Bulletman

Cheers BulletmanYeah I've read that somewhere as well, I think the control arm itself was said to be stronger, can't think where the info came from, and can't verify it!

I know the front lower control arms on the RRS are different (stronger?) to the D3 but no idea about uppers or rear suspension.

Not sure about the D3, but I'm assuming it's the same for the D4, the Meyle control arms sold by AF are all the uprated RRS versions with different upgraded bushes and larger ball joints.  The front lowers have the solid rubber bush  not the hydrobush of the oem arms. Apparently makes the ride harsher, I haven't noticed.

I ended up emailing advanced factors and they replied saying their heavy duty arms are the RRS arms as the front bush from the RRS is a better set up than the disco 3 rubber bush.
I know they sell them so I am unsure if that’s just sales speak or legit , but it does sound similar to what I have managed to read here and on the disco 3 uk site.

From other discussions I had been lead to believe they have all been superseded to the single part number.
