ive just put a rear set in. Not as good as powerflex, but miles better than stock & better than the price difference (compared with powerflex) would suggest..

yeah, i put the complete set on mine well worth it and easy to fit only thing tho! if your doing the rear beam swing arms bushes you need a press to get the old ones out if you still have the standard ones on, but im sure there will be other posting that theres other ways. a press was much eaiser if you have access to one.

A press or a pillar drill certainly makes it easier for rear ones, but a slide hammer will do it eventually as well, plus drift, hammer etc.
There is nothing wrong with these bushes at all, think they are cold cured poly also, and this gives much better shear properties on poly.
Some honda engine/box mounts are being done/reinforeced with poly at the mo, and if they come out ok I am going to poly a rear diff mount, as sick of waiting for a certain other company to get thier arse in gear, will try myself, then give two foc samples for friends to try.

had a set of these for my series 1 and had nothing but trouble fitting them and half the ones they sent where for the wrong car so i have started useing superflex fit spoton more expencive but not as much as powerflex apart from the wishbone ones due to the fact u get the outer stainless sleaves which make them more like the ford ones
