I preferr my koni ajustables+eibach over the courtenay billies premium combo, not sure what springs they are tho, but the shocks are too soft imo.. would be sweet if you coudl get an uprated antiroll bar to take up the roll, but as yet i've not seen one so stiff shocks it is.

Its a nice comfy kit, good upgrade from std, i think you'll be happy [img]/smile.gif[/img]
Don't forget the camber tho' [img]/smile.gif[/img] buy the bushes and get the garage to fit them at the same time if you're not doing it yourself.. get a price first tho [img]/wink.gif[/img]

I've never had the bolts come with bushes no, you'd need to get them seperate if you're replacing them.
there are two bushes on each arm, what miles did was to fit one ajustable bush and one std poly bush to each arm. someone else there fitted 2 ajustables to each arm. might be worth asking powerflex what they reccomend.
