Default replacement wishbone (control arm?) bushes

I came across this site and thought it might be of interest to some of you:

http://www.milfordmicros.co.uk/ then click on 'Porsche 911'
"1.4.04 - AN UNUSUAL ITEM IN OUR PRODUCT LINE-UP, BUT ONE IN WHICH WE HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST - WISHBONE BUSHES FOR THE 964 AND 993 PORSCHE 911.

As all owners will know, if the wishbone bushes on your 911 need replacing, you have to replace the whole wishbone assembly at a cost of about £1000 fitted.

We've got together with Powerflex, manufacturers of the word famous polyurethane bushes, and have designed a set specifically for the 911. The cost is £99.80 plus VAT per set (Front and Rear). They are easy to fit as a DIY job.

The bushes are available only through our dealers, so just use the 'Contact Us'button and we'll pass on your enquiry.

LOOK OUT FOR THE FORTHCOMING ARTICLE IN '911 and PORSCHE WORLD'!"
That's about $173. Has anyone tried these?

p.s. are wishbones called 'control arms' in the US?

They don't even look the same, but since we're discussing other brands, there are also Elephant Racing bushings, which are OEM bushings, but available in stock and sport rubber hardness.

Here is a front Powerflex bushing which includes extra bits in the kit.

I suggest to with Walrod bushings. Are you in Kiev? We plan to go to the Euro 2012 and it is a logistical nightmare.
