    Depends what you want and which wishbones.

    Superflex do them for the pressed arms, but not the forged arms, Powerflex do both, 034 also sell some too. Then theres alloy bushes if you want to be more hardcore/track orientated

      Can you get alloy bushes for the wishbones?

      Worth noting the 034 ones are much tougher than usual too. They use Delrin instead of Poly.

              I've just been on the BALANCE MOTORSPORT website and think I'll probably go with the powerflex bushes from them.

                Err, unless you get new arms too, £173 for Powerflex bushes is NOT a good deal
                In fact its well over £100 more than the retail price. VAGParts have these on the shelf, they are not made to order either

                  Not planning on doing it, just curious is all possibly for future if i ever go mental extreme. Incidentally have you had these installed yourself? What problems does it cause (provided you're not hitting curbs every day)?

                      That was with pressed wishbones IIRC, and the arm sheared off near the bush on one side

                      might be ok for purely track use with the stronger forged arms IMHO.
