Adrenaline sell them as does Ahmed Bayjoo, imo there are very expensive for what they are. Just replacing tired bushes, poly diff mount etc will make a difference.

Think a 6 degree is around £1k, so yes!

I have heard this, can't remember which ray round but I think Ford are bearings and GGR are bushes, and someone was saying the GGR ones spoiled the ride.

A lot of people recomend to put new ford bearings/bushes in the rear arms and either poly or solid mounts on the rear beam. But also highly recommended to change is the rear diff carrier to one of the uprated versions.
