So yeah, not much clearance with evo wheels (Evo 7s) but now I noticed that when turning left the driver's side rear is grinding against the trailing arm! Not pleasant on track!

So guessing the bushes are worn. Been told it's an absolute PIG of a job.

Which bushes do most people go for? When I look at powerflex there seems to be 6 bushes on the rear on each side! (2 are on the camber arms though so I'll rule those out as I have DME arms).

Superpro would be my choice really as I have the front caster increase ones fitted already. They only do the 2 circular ones though? Is that all that's usually upgraded?

You could speak to Area Motorsport and get the rose joint kit fitted.... big bucks though and not sure about the longevity of rose joint suspension on U.K. roads.

Independent rear will just mean there’s more bushes to replace. Sometimes the bushes are difficult to remove. Depends on how you go about it really. Probably too much work for the driveway but straight forward with a workshop and the tools.
I’m yet to replace mine and it’s a job I want to do. I’ve got the luxury of a workshop so I’ll let you know how I get on when I get round to doing it!

Ok, so bought the bare trailing arms and hubs off Rollerdan on here with the energy bush kit. Also got some upper, inner and outer poly bushes ordered as well as some hardrace hardened rubber LCA's. Also got a 24mm tegiwa RARB with some new superpro 24mm bushes. This should hopefully sort it!
