Default Polyurethane Bushings

Did anyone tried this - http://stores.ebay.com/Flo-flex-Polyurethane
Can you recommend on a good set of bushings to the front control arms of my S2.

PS

The seller won't answer to my questions for the last few days - is there any holiday at your end

Thanks for the reply... The reason I didn't go for the powerflex bushings is that they don't have all parts like he does.

Did anyone ever used anything other then powerflex?
