Question Rear Beam Mounts Powerflex or Solid?

Looking to get my rear beam in the P100. Just though i would ask your opinion on rear beam mounts. Ive already got some powerflex, but ive seem that motorsport developments do solids. What are the pro's and con's so to speak?

The car will mainly be used on the rear if that makes a difference.

Cheers

I would try the solids first cause they will be easier to remove than fitting polys first.

Thanks for the replies lads, not a bad shout that Glenn mate. What you got in yours Glenn?

I bought those shitty Flo-flex ones that come in two pieces, heard about the bad reviews so bought some Power Flex. I then came across the solid mounts, cant make up my mine.

Ive got poly ones in mine. I couldnt tell you what make they were lol. They defo got rid of the play in the beam bushes though. You can shake the wheels side to side and the beam bushes had the play in.
