Never seen those before, but both reputable companies, cant see where you can go wrong imo! Would be worth a buy if you're willing to spend the money, but report back on the results :)

interesting you're thinking of that route mark.
I have got a set of polyrace wishbone bushes in the garage I need to fit. I was just going to get the spoox rear wishbone mounts (in that kit) and then replace the ball joints with standard oem items.
Seems like quite a bit of money really.
I got my bushes for 20quid posted and the rear mounts are about 80 quid i think.
so you're paying 80 quid for bolts and ball joints?

Yeh ryan just bin looking in to it more can get better price seperate. Think going to order some polyrace lower arm anti roll bar n rear beam bushes then standard ball joints and uprated spoox lower arm rear mounts.
Anyone got any opinions on polyrace??

Polyrace are meant to be the best (hardest) for the wishbones aren't they? That's what I've got.
However, I'm pretty sure the polyrace arb bushes were only ever designed for the 106 and so don't fit the saxo. I nearly bought a set until I looked into it.
It's got to be powerflex for those (ideally the black competition ones that are harder than the purple).
I guess it's much of a muchness with the rear beam bushes? Again, harder the better - think that kit you posted used the powerflex competition ones for the beam
