Default Who has Strong Flex upper wishbone bushes installed?

Just wonder how many people on here have Strong Flex upper wishbone bushes installed on their car? I have an issue with fitment and was wondering whether it is limited to my set of bushes or whether it is a design flaw.

I thought it would be easier to post pics, currently in contact with them over it but resolution is not looking so hot. They are fitted correctly according to strong flex but the end flange on each bush is 2mm too short as it allows the wishbone to move forward and and backwards on the bush itself, apparently my car must be faulty because they've never had this complaint before, even though all wishbones measure the same in all dimensions as does the body where the bushes sit.

Aren't the top wishbones different between the pre facelift and the facelift cars?

They are but the difference is significant as I bought the wrong ones by mistake on my last S2000.

no the difference is not a couple of mm it is significantly greater and I think it it the diameter of the bush rather than the length
