Cant really coment on the powerflex items yet, i will hopefully be getting a set for my e36 soon. The floflex items i have fitted to my cosworth are great. Cant realy fault the parts. Only problem was afew mistakes with my order.
In saying that, the exhaust mounts i bought from flow flex were poor. Looked like they had not set properly on the mould or wrong mix of materials or something. They had large cracks in them etc. The actuall suspention bushes were good though.

i have bought a full car set for my last cos from superflex,they practically cost nothing,they came in crappy little bags with no identification on them so you had to figure out where they went,i bought powerflex for my car and the only differances i would say is cost,nice packaging and you get little packets of grease with them.and powerflex dont all come in the same colour,i bought a whole car kit and got purple,black and yellow.i was a bit pissed off about that!

No bother. The fitting of the bushes is easy. Just ask if you get stuck. I use a trolley jack to press out the large old bushes from the rear beam (hoop). And the same to put the new poly items back in.

i know that as i contacted powerflex and thats what they told me,but i dont need to know that a purple bush is harder than a yellow bush,i just wanted them all 1 colour,it doesnt matter what hardness they are as they only fit in 1 place anyway.polyurethane is surely polyurethane and if you are only buying it for a cheap upgradce because the rubber bush is fooked you wont be able to tell if the bush is hard or soft.
