Anyone got a good place to get the super pro bushes from? I'm about to do mine for the second time, and last time just replaced the whole wishbone, but since they haven't lasted very well I might go for the super pro if they are a good price. D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)

So I've decided not to go for the superpro based on the price. £180 just for the 4 bushes, and then you've still to get the ball joints.
So, can anyone tell me if you can just buy D4 bushes for D3 arms? Or have I got to buy a full D4 arm and replace the whole wishbone. I replaced the entire wishbone last time, but with D3 ones, and they haven't lasted very long, so definitely want to put D4 bushes in this time.
Advice gratefully received.  D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)

I'm sure that I've read about "Armoured" D3 bushes, or the arms being compatible. TLO will know.

RRS Arms and D4 arms will fit your D3. However I am not sure if the RRS or D4 bushes fit the D3 arms.
RRS Arms are the ones used in the Armoured D3. CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

Thanks for all the info. I get that the RRS bushes are the same as the D3 armoured, but should I use these rather than D4? Clearly the D4 bushes are better than the D3 bushes as they have superseded them, but is there a good reason for going for the RRS ones? D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)

Not quite sure what your point is, I know they are the same, that's why I said the D4 bushes have superseded the D3 ones, hence, they are the same! According to what I've been told, if you attempt to order D3 bushes now you are presented with a superseded part number, which is the same as the D4 ones. They did used to be different, but clearly the D3 ones have been discontinued.
So my question still remains if anyone can advise, since the new D4 ones are clearly an improved bush, what would be the advantage of going for the RRS bushes? Thanks D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)
