Suspension Bushings?

Just curious as to who makes AE86 aftermarket (TRD is not in the budget) suspension bushings, and how much for purchase price, instal time and degree of dificulty...

Doest Toyota offer an OEM replacement Kit?

I dont want to get ahead of myself but I have track days on the brain and havent even picked up the car yet The car has new brakes and tires so I figured a set of new bushings should be enough not to limp home.

Thanks

Whiteline racing out of Australia is your next bet.. but not sure how much a price difference it will be after you factor in the exchange and shipping charges.

energy also makes front end poly bushings for the ae86..

oem bushings might be still available from toyota, i've heard a few different stories on that..

some of the bushings need to be pressed in, so you need a shop press or you'll have to get creative

The thing i heard about OEM bushings is that they don't sell it to you unless the sell you the part with the bushing. ie, a lower control arm would have to be bought in order to get the accompanying bushings. I haven't confirmed this for myself tho.

Some of the white line bushings will require 2 sets.

haha did u hear that from me? :p

i doubt this is true for ALL bushings, but the bushings in particular that i was looking for only came with the part that goes with the bushing as well.

i'm sure that for other suspension components, bushings can be bought seperately.
