Default Floflex bushes - any good ?

I need some inner and outer wishbone bushes for my Series 2 - i have seen these Floflex and they are cheap - but does cheap come at a price.

Car is only used weekends/fair weather and not tracked at all.

How do these compare to standard bushes.

What suggestions can people recommend when it comes to bushes ???? and anyone had any bad experiences with the floflex products?

Hello peeps,

Cheers stu and Proj for the recomendaions

The bushes I deal only come in the one colour which is the stndard p-urethane colour from the wholesalers, orange. They are grade 80 shore a, this is the only grade my current supplier can do but they can do any colour but this will up the price. We are always looking for ways in which to improve our bushes so if there is ever an issue with these then we can adjust the tooling to improve them.

On another note, although I am a dealer for powerflex, I have made a new contact with one of the top fella's at Polybush, the original polyurethane company. These guys deals with the top end of motorsport which is both reflected in quality and price. Although the quality of the bushes im selling as my own are great, the lads who make them only deals with one level and thats value for money but very few options.

Polybush can do all industry standard (3 grades) polyurethane and the process/materials in whch these are made from are totally different to my other supplier. We will be having a meeting late next week to discuss some options for being a dealer and some new marketing strategies we have as they seemed very interested in them so will keep you informed. If we can work together it will mean AM can offer bushes to both pople on a budget and people who want the best.

Anyway, if you want any bushes we can supply you ours or powerflex, if you are not happy send them back (in perfect order) and you can have your money back.

Can't be more fair than that.
