As already said powerflex are best but superflex are also very good, have used deflex/floflex before as well and for the money they are good but have heard some horror stories about them! Deflex/flofex are orange, powerflex purple and also black and superflex are a dark blue

I have in mine superflex in the rear and powerflex in the front. Not a rs turbo but a mk2 orion and all bushes are the same.

In the rear I preferred the superflex ones because they were the only brand that made the inner and outer wishbone bushes with the exterior steel shell. The other only made with the interior tube.
For the wishbones I made a tool with a tube, one bolt and nut and two plates of steel. With the tool is relatively easy to do, without it it seems to be a pain in the ass.

I have some photos of the fitting and the tool if anyone wants it.

Powerflex is fit and forget

Superflex are alright but the second option

and if you are tight and prepared to buy them again at a later date (doing away with any savings) Floflex

Having used and destroyed Deflex/Floflex in the past, seen in detail the Superflex and dealt with Powerflex...all my cars run Powerflex.
