Anyone Get Bushings From FCP Groton? 200

Has anyone used suspension bushings from FCP Groton? I usually buy other stuff from them, but I was wondering if I’d be better off going to IPD, since that’s their specialty. Of course, IPD is also more expensive. But that’s not always an indicator, since IPD charges a lot more for the identical shocks, brake pads, etc. Even with the 20% off suspension sale that’s going on now at IPD, Boge and Bilstein shocks are still cheaper at FCP!

Thanks!

    I got four control arm bushings (OEM Boge) from FCP. They were the same thing Volvo sells. Nice.

    i concur with my fellow brixsters--just adding a little experience.

    i didn't get the kit, bought the items separately.

    i insisted and bought a complete set of boge (oem) bushings for the front, including the ball joints (moog/trw) and poly sway bar link bushings.

    can't beat their prices, very happy with the parts; they gave me everything i requested.

    regards,

    I bought the front end bushing & sway bar link kit from FCP on Ebay (saves a few bucks) and have been happy for over a year now. Firm yet durable bushings at bargain prices. Take Care!
