Front sway bar bushes
Hi Guys, new to the Forum!
Last month I became the proud owner of a 1989 S2
Now taken off the front ARB as drop links corroded & apart from the bar itself which I will be sanding down & respraying, would like to renew the 4 major bushes & links.
Any suggestions where best to buy OE as a kit online? Or is there a cheaper alternative just as good?
Preferably in Europe but open to recommendations.
Cheers.

Congratulations...and welcome to the forum.
There is 1) one center bushing, 2) one end bushing, and 3) two control arm drop link bushings per side, for a total of eight bushings. Total cost...probably less than $100 in the US. Would simply purchase these from your local Porsche Center. Happy motoring...

Cheers!
Porsche Centre Malta always seems to have different pricing to the rest of the world...& not in a positive manner
Also, will not only need the Bushes but also the actual drop links.

Malta...can't help you there. Must be someone in Italy [ebay, craigslist] with a pair of used drop links, no?
Cost of parts [links and bushings] plus shipping from the US cannot be any cheaper? If you can't find the drop links locally, send a private message to RL member "944UK". He sends Euro parts from the UK all over the world. And how much can PC Malta actually charge for a few pieces of rubber? If you really can't find the bushes locally for a reasonable price, feel free to order from paragon-products.com

Priority Mail International shipping is pretty attractive cost wise. A small flat rate box runs about $34.

Yes, a lot of places now have free post to 48 states & economy shipping isn't that bad too.
Mel, it is not just the rubbers that I need but also the drop links, so the difference in price could add up. Apart from that, they still won't have them in stock here.
Anyhow, I'm checking which works out best in any case & as stated, preferably in Europe as well as wanted to hear suggestion from experiences on hear regarding if there are better alternatives!?
