Yeah, a lot of us use them.

Good stiff bushings.

It includes all the major bushings for a AE86 yes.
I don't know if they have the same bushings as your corolla's.

I got mine through SYM here on the forums.

Almost the complete suspension is the same as the KE70, so i think most of it will fit.

Are these bushings also good for race/rally? I know people who had to change cheap polyuretahn bushings after only a few rallysprints.
The bushings from Powerflex for example cost much more, so I canĀ“t really imagine that these are solid.

The problems with some bushing's is that when you hit a bump in a bad way...
The bushing will deform en stay deformed..
This means that after a while.. it doesn't do the job anymore..
Be sure to get good bushing's
Cheap is more expensive over a long time.

We sold about 40 sets of the Prothane bushings through the shop and had a couple of groupbuys before. Never heard any complaints about them cracking. Prothane claims they will hold between 5 and 10 years (depending on the usage of course).

Here some reviews of people using them more than 3 years.

Note that they used them for road/track only, I have no idea how they would hold when using them for rallying.
