Right, is this right?
4x 21mm ARB bushes?
2x ARB to cross member bushes?
2x Lower arm bushes (are these one or split into two?)
Is that it? I don't want to do the rear ones.

The bushes that go inside the ARB that connects to the lower cross member?
Suppose can do rear ones.
Cheers for your help.

you can get bushes for rear shocks as well, probably wouldn't make much difference

some of the stuff from this list also fits a corsa

Edit: do you mean these by lower cross member?

I presume your not going for standards. Isn't there a issue with some of those bushes on the later cars due to a bigger bore? Somebody will know.

I am going standard, I don't like the way the car is on poly bushes.
Anyone got part numbers and prices?
Might get Bilstein blacks for it instead of OE shocks as they have a slightly shorter piston more suitable for lowering.

If you still need the part numbers later i can get them when i get home.

Really? That is ridiculous, but then the Poly bushes are about £18 each before delivery.

Have a slightly shorter piston so ideal for matching with Eibach springs.

They are shit.
Eibach are progressive springs so won't effect the ride quality.

I'd go shock and spring, especially the Bilstein with the Eibachs.
