SuperPro makes an assortment of bushings for the Spiders and in most
cases the fit is excellent and customers rave about the improvement in
handling/feel.

There are several PU bushing makers in AU  and SuperPro is one. Quality
is top notch, only snag is a few Spiders have had fitment issues on the
rear trailing arm...
