I had em on my 3i and thought they were shit. Shit quality, shit fit, and half of em weren't even right FFS.... Would go for Superflex or Powerflex next time round I think.... Either that or go to a tuner who suppy's and fits em, so if anything goes wrong it's their fault

I think powerflex are over rated and over priced! I mean surly they all have to be made to a certain standard dont they??

I fitted Deflex front and back on my 4x4 - no complaints at all for the price - IMO Powerflex are having a laugh, the finished result is no better at all, but if you got cash to burn then carry on!
If we're being picky, yes the Powerflex ones look a tad prettier in your hand, and they come in flashy packaging that you rip up and put in the bin - but once fitted (mine fitted fine) there's nothing to chose, they've been in 12 months and all OK.

The 1s i got a few years back were absolut shite!

they didnt really fit at all well! & the fron roll bar 1s ripped out on a number of occasions! which is extremly scary!

I have fitted powerflex bushes to the prolem 1s & they r excellent! i still have a few deflex 1s in & they r the 1s that dont rerally come under much pressure!

I dunno if the desgin has changed JC!? I bought them off ya about 2 yrs ago i thnk!
