I was considering running standard rubber ones at chassis end and superpro at diff end ??

NOOOOOOOO - that is what I did - you will regret it (I did).

See the pics of my bushes I posted in the P38 bush thread. [ EDIT - now see below]

As for haultech bushes, I don't think they are making them anymore - but contact haulech direct and ask. Icepack - Haultech Engineering

EDIT - cut and paste from other post:

Radius arm bush with <1000 road km and <1000 km of the CSR on it:

Trailing arm bush (<10000 km):

Thanks for the heads up ...So best to change the chassis end to superpro at the same time ? I got quoted $100 for the both sides diff end

Looks like I'll be going superpro all round if I cannot get hold of haultech tomorrow then... My chassis end bushes are in good order however the trailing arm chassis end are probably worse than that and I have bent the arms at the chassis end by having to much flex and not enough mods...

Order them from the UK, much much cheaper

But from where? I'm not having much luck searching my usual suppliers so far. Devon 4x4, (I haven't used them before), have them.

It's those sort of stupid prices given maybe by one local supplier that causes every one to run to England. Check a few other local places and get a proper price and keep the $ in Oz.

Surely it is better for the economy to buy an Australian Made product (SuperPro) overseas than buy an imported product (oe rubber shlock) locally???

The former helps keep BOTH local manufacturing and the balance of trade afloat. The latter just gives money to local wholesalers and retailers.

If you can find me a full kit for around $250 in Australia, i'll buy them from there.

I would like to buy in australia but what Ben said makes perfect sense so if in the end it is more beneficial to buy overseas and this item being Australian too I'll do what's best for my pocket....
