This BA has done around 30,000 ks from what I gathered so the bushes might be ok, as I said I'm not sure what the fire might have done but it doesn't look to have done much damage to the suspension.
I got mine from Brissy (probably the same place sly did - maybe I even recommended them, lol). And it was around $500 for the parts, and $80 freight to ACT. But that was without a spare wheel, so $650 sound about right. In fact, anywhere up to $1k, is still alright, just not as all right as $650!

If the BA had only done 30,000km, I wouldn't change any bushes at all - but if it's done around say 100,000km, then I would certainly look at changing them to be on the safe side.
