Why bother with standard - you will only replace them again. If you are going to the lengths of replacing them, find the extra £10-20 and use poly. Safer, stronger, far better and will last the length of ownership.

Given they only needed replaced after 10 years, it's safe to say standard items won't need replaced anytime soon and not in the ownership of Ben.
EDIT: Part number 5094 95, £12.52 inc. VAT from Peugeot per bush.

I don't see the point in fitting anything other than standard ARB bushes.

i have had standard before on other 206's and never had a problem, don't see the point paying twice the price when i wont own the car for that long anyway. plus its no trouble changing them if i needed to , i can do it in less than 15mins.

Of course OEM would suffice if you are on a budget...
However, you HAVE lowered the car, you HAVE given it more power; it was a logical step forward.

They will make no difference to handling at all. Actually they could reduce roll by maybe 1mm...what's the point?

Agree to disagree. Everyone has different experience with different parts. I just happen to have found them to be of benefit and was putting my 10 cents in.
However, this has far strayed from the point - the guy just wanted a place to find OEM bushes.
