where's the best place to get them? and how much are they roughly?

and am i right in saying that the rear bearings need to be replaced as well when doing them.

no probs mate i have just done mine while i was fitting rear arms from a m reg eco , as they lower the car a few more mm than the original ones from the redtops , its easier to pull the arms off while doing the bearings anyway , well i found it easier,lol
