As said, only 2 per side, so thats ok.
If the factor price is that, seem a lot. Try shop4parts...remember we get 10%...check the forum.
Still after shipping i bet there is little in it.
A better option and not much more than you factor is HERE!!!!
I have used this seller, for both front and rear kits.
Great prices and hopefully never have to change them again.

Don't you need a hydraulic press to fit OEM rear bushes?
I bought some powerflex ones for (i think) £45 a set from Mick aka Fluffy the Impaler from clubcento. These just push in.

Probably.
But yes the Powerflex bushes just push in by hand (it is getting the old bushes out that takes a while).
The prices seem to differ alot. From £32.40 for the rubber type to £60.88 for powerflex. I know the powerflex are better but my funds are very tight 
after buying the Cinq for traveling to my new job.

remember, unless you have a press (or access to one), you will also have to pay someone to fit the rubber ones, so the cost of £32 is not all you will pay.
EDIT: also, you may have to renew your rear brake lines at the same time as they often break when you remove the rear arms.

I can get to a press so that side of the job is not a problem,and hopefully my brake pipes won't be a problem as they look fairly new an have no corrosion on them. It's the bleed valves I'm more worried about but I intend to spray all bits with releasing fluid a few days befor I start.
