Had Deflex fitted to my old XR3i, the odd bushes can be a bit of a pain to fit due to the sizes not being totally spot on, but compared to OE stuff they make an incredible difference and for the money.....

Will be getting a set on my S1 over the winter as the ones on it are looking a bit sorry for themselves.

Good aftersales advice if needed as well.
