No I'm leaving the blue ones in - but my DPNW instructions tell me to loosen the whole ARB off to install just the front bushings. Makes it easier to do the fitting I guess...

It wasn't one about how I should definitely put Toby's in and take the others out was it?

How about this then: A geninie sign in the middle of a field, in the middle of nowhere reading
"PLEASE DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS SIGN"
I would HIGHLY recommend replacing the ones in the lower arm, otherwise you're not getting even half the advantage of Toby's kit. If you think about it, it's the ones in the arm that do most of the work - the original ones under the U-brackets can only deflect a few mm anyway.

Circlip pliers work a treat (the inny-to-outy flavour)
