I was quoted around the 560 mark for the entire set of bushes using the offset ones (the sports kit or whatever its called) from supercheap auto.

They're pretty good with that sort of thing.

Yeah I'm curious to who else around that does urethane for a more decent price. I've just bought complete urethane bushing kit for my AW11 MR2 which consist of a fare amount of components and grease for AU$100 from Prothane, pity they don't have a kit for MX5 / Miata or do they?

Everywhere I looked wanted over $100+ just for the inner rear control arms... I thought the $200 was a pretty good price. When I asked MX5 Mania, they told me $400

What I need to know is.....
Where does the grease go, on the ourside of the polyurathene bush or around the metal tube or both?

on every friction surface i believe. So inside between the bush and the crush tube, and on the outside of the bush also. The grease shoud also stop any squeaking
