Default Escort mk4 poly bushes

I bought some py bushes for my escort a while back. I had asked for them to be fitted by my local garage but unfortunately I was told that they didn't fit.
My mk4 is just a base spec popular
If these bushes were for an Rs turbo or xr3i what would I have to change on my car so that I can use these bushes?

Or what differences are there between say an Rs turbo and a base spec..

Cheers in advance

Yeah a turbo arb, as theres 4 bushes on that at the front, 2 to mount it to the crossmember/chassis and 2 where they go through the lower arms. Also a popular wont have a rear arb at all.

That's what I thought it would just be the front arb, as they are 24mm as apposed to 22mm. Is there anything else that's different ?
Would it be beneficial for me to get an Rs rear arb?

Cheers

On my 1300 Orion the rear arms that goes from the rear hub to chassis were different, luckily I had some spare Rs turbo arms.
