Mate, you still have that bent lower arms?

Most of the bushes are the same except for the lower control arm rear bush, its a much better fitting unit.

But I'd like to get that arm to make sure.

I'd assume it would be identical to the GPX at least.

Yeah? Hmm .. That still doesn't sound right to me. I was pretty sure the GPX and the GPvR is identical in that area. Hmm :?:

Nah its not...

The rear control arm bushes on the front of the car are quite different. The GPvR ones are much better... a press fit bush in a metal casing. Where as the GPX / GR have this big rubber blob that sits in there...
