They will still be in the boot at Wycombe if I turn up in the right car 

Seriously, if someone wants to fit them I'm more than happy to assist and pay with beer tokens.

Easier too... Removing both centre bolts at once is pretty much guaranteed to allow the whole subframe to shift, which makes refitting the bolts, um..., interesting

[VXL V6]

Hmm yes, that's what happened when fitting the standard ones on the 2.6. 

[chrisgixer]

Great. I'll bring mine, Andy brings his and you can use our cars for your race.  It'll be a fairer competition to do 2 complete cars! 

....or you can watch whats done, and do your oppsin own!

[VXL V6]

Perfect, do mine and then I'll watch Tigger do his while stuffing my face with food and drink.

I was merely offering my poor old car in the interests of science.

Is there any place I could buy these Pedders EP1145 poly donut bushes?

All I can find is "sold out".

Does these Calibra bushes fit?

I don't know personally.

I do like your logic, however. The Calibra back suspension is very, very close to Omegas/Carltons. Unless the part numbers for original GM Calibra and Omega bushes are the same, which would pretty much guarantee they'd fit of course, it'd take someone with a couple of scrap sets to post the dimensions.

Personally I could not think of anything worse than Poly donut bushes, I put standard new ones (non-Poly) in the 2.2. Wish I never had bothered, I much preferred the old 'soft' ones!

Rign Monkfish Performance. Should be a stock item

Specifically, you require the following...

Rear End Pack, Monaro, (models fitted with Harrop diff cover) was £99 last time I looked

Put mine in today, but have a coolant leak to fix before I test them

Carlton ones don't fit (well, don't stay in), chrisgixer has proved that.

Yes, but you're only happy when the suspension is completely shagged, and steering is guesswork.

Poly not really harder than rubber, just last longer
