Does Toyota still carry them? They did last time i checked... but that was like 6 years ago lol

well according to the TRD Japan site the only bushings they don't make are the front upper support bushing where camber plates would be.

you can get the whole set (PN: 40862-AE852) for around 370 bucks + shipping.

i would not recommend this kit to you.. the bushings will disintigrate very fast- had this happen to 3 of my cars..

if i were you, go with the prothane bushing kit.. its 100 bux..

just FYI.

That is absolute BS. Unless there are somehow drastic differences between an AE-86 and an AW11 set (and that is extremely unlikely) these thing will last for ages (much, much, much longer than urethane). I've used the AW11 sets in 3 different cars, and after over 100k miles on two of them they were still in great shape when the cars were sold. Rubber, particularly the type used for bushings like this is extremely durable, much more so than the mixes used in tires. I've never even seen oem bushes that have cracked after well more than 200k and countless years of use. On the other hand urethane absolutely dries out quite quickly, and needs replacement on a regular basis. The only good part is that after their initial installation they are easy to replace afterwards. With all that being said, even hard rubber, like that used in the TRD bushes, will absorb shock much better than urethane simply due to its molecular make-up.
