Given the car a test run, no problems, doesn't seem a harder ride. 
There is a bloke on ebay breaking an Omega, it has polybushed wishbones, I have asked him for a price. He replied "about" £50, plus p&p, but I am sure he would come down. If you are thinking about "going poly", there is an opportunity for you. The auction has ended, but I can send him a message for you if interested.

A set of new poly bushes is less than that, surely? Just add a hacksaw.

I couldn't find a set for less than that, but if you know of a source . . .

Well, there's the Ebay link you posted... £37.52 Buy it now... Or have I got my wires crossed?

[Agemo]

You are right, but that is EACH! Yes I thought it was expensive too. Powerflex themselves sell them at £25 each, not including ARB bushes. I was quite happy fitting them to my own wishbones, but some members would prefer the work to be done for them. I was just giving people the information.

The auction I'm looking at says it's a "Kit of 2" and I'm pretty sure that's one for each side (each 'bush' being in two halves, so you get 4 bits in the box).. I'll go and check the box I have sitting in the garage in a minute.

I actually bought the kit with ARB bushes included, and yes I did get two complete bushes for the wishbones. Sorry if I am confusing people here, as you say, the bush is actually in two parts, and you get bushes for both wishbones. Just re-read what I wrote earlier, and it makes no sense - sorry.

I bought the one with the ARB bushes too (from Larkspeed Performance up in Leeds, via eBay) - so there's six bits of poly in all, four for the wishbones and two for the ARBs. Just for the purposes of avoiding confusion

Yes, Larkspeed are cheap, but delivery is 13.15 days. Not a problem if you aren't in a hurry. All from the same place Powerflex. I am well pleased with the quality.

I was lucky, mine turned up in a week  I figure they don't keep them in stock, though - in fact if they are still where they were 15 years ago (looks like the same address) they're in a tiny little shop stuck round the back of a shopping centre.. they probably don't keep much stock of anything!

That's what I got when I bought one of those kits. (can't remember if it was the same seller).
