nice one mate yeah for the money they seem quite good its got me thinking as im never really gonna have my esc on the track that much plus it will spend most of its life in the garage so i dont see the point in spending huge money on the powerflex jobbies

i've got a set for the rear of the car but haven't got round to putting it on yet, the quality / finish is a bit rough & ready but they are solid & should do the job. Cost a lot less than powerflex that I have on the front.

Powerflex, 100% proven, 100% quality - Why save a few quid only to have to spend it twice over again to get it sorted properly?

I bought a 3dr recently and it was really nervous/shit to drive it had deflex bushes on the front end so did the usual mods changed ARB to 2wd saff and refitted the deflex and it didn't cure the problem. so I then change the outer arb bushes to powerflex and instanly its better so I'll have to change the rest of the ARB bushes now.

definatly steer clear of them IMO

I sell Powerflex products if you want a price PM me with what your after and I'll give you a price.
