the 180 i paid was just for the new wishbone bushes so if your getting the arb in there aswell its a bargain.

Not something id change because i think the cars not as sharp as it used to be but mine were an MOT advisory from 3 months previous(cracked and worn so either way had to be done.

Nope allignment was free with the suspension kit fitting which only set me back £115 which was a bargain and hence why i didnt fit them myself as id be at it most of a day. The bushes are so expensive basically because its about 2-3 hours work and on a standard car you would just swap wishbones with new bushes but the LCR's arent cheap to replace like this and its some hard graft to get them out and then replace.

Hard graft getting out the bushes is an understatement
2 bushes can be pushed out easily but other 2 are unbelievable and will require burning then cutting out
