I have
28 bushes in 6 packets thats not counting the sway bar bushes I have end links installed already

I believe the NA & NB8A are identical, apart from the no of end link bushes.

mania sell them for aroun $650 for the set.

The ones from the Uk are about $950 landed. But i suspect they may be of better qualety. not as twitchy as others.

The bushes were the last thing in my car that *needed* to be done (needed as in, needed for roadworthyness, not for fun), but I'm seriously thinking about some new shocks. The ride is rather hard, and actually makes my back sore driving on the M7, as the surface isnt smooth...the car vibrates along there
