AE86 Suspension Bushes

Does anyone know who makes full kits for these.
Ive heard Noltec bandied around on the US sites, but i dont know if we can get them over here.
What other companies make bushes, im guessing that the company which is next to Fulcrum Suspension does (supplies Whiteline), but does anyone know kit numbers or anything?
Cheers

Noltec are getting back to me on it.
Toby, do you want to post the details in here so everyone can see them.
Mainly because with all these threads we have started to get a pretty concise AE86 suspension faq, which we could add to the general FAQ.

Why pay whiteline an extra amount when you can get it from the people who make whiteline bushes.
Also there is always that Noltec discount.
I found all the prices and stuff, but it washed off my hand before i remembered to take it down. Ill phone them when i get back from hols.

Man talk about digging stuff up, i had totally forgotten about this.
I ended up going with teh whiteline bushes, and they do seem to be harder than their Noltec cousins, which is strange. Because i thought they were one and the same company.
Anyway, the Whiteline bushes cost me $82 per pack of 4 (need 2packs).
The Noltecs were $91 and Nolethane (the brand (red)) didnt make any.
Cant remember what you quoted me Toby, maybe you shoudl post it up.

The problem with this is that a lot of the cattledogs only have the front half, and dont list the main bushes for the 4link.
One even listed "leaf spring eye bushes"

Noltec have at least two product lines in bushes - Softride and Grunt. The bushes I'm fitting in my KE26 are the Softride ones - they're still tougher than the original rubber bushes, but not testicle-mashingly hard.

I have noticed that the VP Commodore (very similar suspension layout to AE86), have the rack solid mounted to the crossmember. Maybe solid mounting the AE86 rack wouldn't be such a bad thing. I have heard of polyurathane bushes for that but forgot where to buy. I can't find the listing.
I have some SuperPro bushes here for lower control arm, 4sale. I didn't like the look of them so bought the Nolathane ones.
The SuperPro catalog lists the bushes for lateral control links, 4 link.
SuperCheap = SuperPro
Repco = Nolathane
