Paul, take a look at this thread from a few years ago, I replaced all suspension bushes on what is now Aidos GPX:

On a related note, I'm in the process of compiling spring rates for the various lowering options out there at the moment, I'm looking for a compromise in terms of drop vs rate. The Espelirs on the GX are way too hard for road use and I need an alternative (a recent trip out west proved pretty uncomfortable with family in tow, I was more worried about the fact that the car regularly lost traction over uneven surfaces). So far, Tein S-techs are coming out as the softest spring in terms of of rebound rate.
