Finally got round to fitting the new engine and brace bushes, didnt realise they were that worn! didnt look that bad but what a difference to drive. i was enjoying the difference that much driving back from the lock-up i went past the turn in to my house and ending up coming home nearly half a tank of fuel lighter.

there must of been quite a bit of play in the main square bush as the throttle response is noticeably sharper! i have a bit more vibration/noise at idle but i'm going to live with that.

Now best start collecting all the lower bushes.

Anyone fitted uprated ARB's to their R? worth the money, or am i aswell uprate the mounts for the standard roll bar?

Being an R, the shocks will deal with a lot of the roll but I guess uprating them, especially the rear one, will make a fair bit of difference.
