If you've already got Mugen compliance bushes get Mugen front bushes to go with them.

I agree, if I didn't already have the mugen compliance bushes, it would be the cheaper option to buy the complete arm.
Any reason you have to fit the Mugen bushes? you could sell them on and fit these arms as a cost effective option? I'm sure the Mugen bushes would sell pretty quickly too

I could, but from everything I have read, they give quite an improvement. (Not sure how much over brand new bushes).
But as I already have them, I can spend £80ish for mugen front bushes and have it sorted as opposed to £180 for 2 new arms.

That's one pair of Mugen compliance for £80 isn't it ? - if you are replacing all three pairs of front lower bushes with Mugen then the price for
a full control arm works out much better.

That's a good point, its actually cheaper to re bush the existing arm with Mugen items.

£75 for the compliance bush set

and the camber bust is £81

I've got nothing to add to this threat apart from I to need to get some new front compliance bushes aswell. Got my tyres changed out yesterday, and the O/S bush has certainly seen better days with a big rip in it!

that linky to those cheap arms is a great price! hmmmmmmm
