You could get the escort Van arms, they have stiffer bushes then original ones. Or you can get track control arms (believe they called them area six) from Zoo M'sport, they ones ready with poly bushes aren't as good as it seems, heard a lot of bad things bout em, like the bushes are fast worn out or even came loose from the arm!
