    Here are mine. Don't get me wrong it's nothing that can't be sorted.
    But im just reluctant to spend all that money on something that's not overall that brilliant.

    Nissan were my first call when I needed new bushes, I rang up and asked for a set of subframe bushes. They guy said that will be £700 and they come attached to a free subframe. Also that will be an 8 week wait.

    It was the same story with bushes for the other arms, Nissan only sell the whole arm.

    The only other OEM like bushes I could find were Nismo ones, but the cost was very high.

    Hmm maybe I'll just stick with my energy ones and some more white grease to stop the squeaking.

    May order a set of the driftworks ones though as they are dirt cheap.

    Tonight I'm going to attempt to press out stock ones from an old set of arms.

    My Energy ones have been fine. They do 2 types - red poly and black poly. Supposedly the black are graphite-impregnated that is supposed to stop squeaking. Mine are red but I haven't had any squeaking as yet.

    Could I twist your arm and ask how much to make me a set of TC arms? They are the only ones I'm missing...

    My Apex ones look a little worse than that and the front arms where the 2 bolts go through into the front lower arm, the blue paint has flaked and the metal is turning to powder They'll have to be replaced pretty soon.

    I'll ask my mate who welded them up as he supplied the material for them. My work only really has ally in stock which is another reason why I never made them this time.

    I may look into another set of the energy ones then. Mine are the reds and have lasted 5 years and still ok. But squeak like mad ha.

    If that was intentional, you need to get your coat

    Hahaha!! Sorry - it wasn't! Only just realised now you pointed it out!

    However, if it was, it would have been quite subtle...

    M.D. Cheers mate Appreciate it!
