deflex Ł90 for a full set, powerflex Ł250 for a full set, as for fitting it prob take a garage a couple of hours max to change em all so say Ł50 per hour labour charge so thats Ł100

they can be expensive at a garage depending on how hord they are to do, ie when the suspension was last taken apart- some parts may be seized on if not done that recently which will take a garage longer and cost more etc.
i was quoted Ł300 to do my whole car- whole bush set, i think they where just trying to cover there backs though as some bushes can be a right pain to get off and re-fit.

I think Polybushes are over-rated.

What do you use in your set up christian?

The reason everyone thinks they're great is the fact there changing from fucked old bushes , replacing with all new ford bushes would be just as good

BUt new ford bushes won't last as long, or give as good a location to moving parts.
