    Hi all,

    I'm going to have all the swing arms etc refurbished and doing all the suspension bushes along with it. Where is the best place to get these? I see Eurospares dont have stock of them all and other than Ebay I'm not finding anywhere.

    So looking for recommendations.

    Thanks.

    Be careful about stiffer upgraded suspension bushings. Very stiff ones will pound out the pickup points.

    Thanks for letting me know. I am planning in keeping them standard.

    I just redid the suspension on my 456M and used NOS OEM in the front and SPUK in the rear. The front cost my 4x as much as the rears despite the fact there were fewer bushings to replace.

    After a few miles I will report how I like them (I mention as the 456 overlaps several bushings with the TR and it was my test before I redo the TR)

    Omar, were you worried the NOS might have degraded over the many years just sitting?

    Sorry, NOS is the wrong term here. New from Ferrari directly. NS I guess….new stock OEM.

    SPUK in the rear because they weren't available? Or prohibitive price?

    I redid my suspensions on both my 308QV and BB 512i when I acquired each because I wanted them to feel new. Got everything from Partsourse. Geoff Ohlin

    Thanks all I bought them all through super performance also bought caliper rebuild kits too might as we do it all.

    Super performance shipped the next day and it only took 2 days to get to me in Dubai. Was very impressed with their service.

    Cost prohibitive. The difference was quite stark at the time.
