    I paid 50 for the rear axle and 60 for the fronts with bare wishbones from C+R at inters, special offer! May be worth waiting and getting a bargain. The front wishbones are a better design than the vag ones (especially the rear!) and the beam bushes tighten it up nicely ;)

    No brainer as far as i am concerned.
    I got a full bugpack kit for 40 (same powerflex one would be close to 80)
    Wishbone, steering rack, ARB, Rear Strut, rear beam(inserts...fills the gap in the OEM bush, not as good as the powerflex rear beam unit but then not 40 either)

    I'd go for the proper rear beam bushes over the inserts, make a much bigger difference. I used PolySport ones from Rally Design.

    34 delivered IIRC for 2 rear bushes. Fitted fine.

    Yeah I know...but they came with the kit and I didn't want to shell out any more on bushes...(also didn't want to get into the hideous job of remob=ving the original!)next time

    Yeah, fair enough!

    Makes replacing the rear bushes (if you ever have to) a 10 minute job when you've got poly in there!!
