Do not buy floflex!! Use superflex or powerflex
You don't want the rear arm bushes. The original cosworth bushes are spherical bearings, replacing them with polybushes would be a very bad move. I tried the polybushes but replaced them again with the original spherical bearings.
BTW, I've used Floflex bushes for 8 years or so, never had a problem with them, except for the rear arms though...

Billy the most simple approach to get what you need is buy the full front and rear kit from Powerflex, but ensure it doesn't come with front top mounts, rear trailing arms, and rear spring tops
That's what I did with Woodford and they sorted me a price

This would probably be why they were shit in all fairness bud anyone I know to have used them has slated them and changed quickly hence why they are so cheap
Ive bought a full set of flo-flex bushes. Paid less than 100 quid for the full set, thats the only reason. Ill let you know how i get on as the x member etc is going in tomorrow. Ill also have to let you know how they are after some abuse from the 400bhp.
Front tcas, still looking for arb bushes, but they seem to be hard to find. I have group n top mount bushes in conjunction with early group a top mounts. I also have a ggr rear beam kit, it makes a good difference as well.

Well if you are also using flowflex engine mounts good luck with that bud!
New original what? Arm bushes? Probably not new then. Why replace bearings that cost 80 pounds each?
Yes bud they were black if I still got a pic of them i'll post it up, previous owner had them fitted 2 months before I got car for 1 and then I decided to go from 4x4 to 2wd so beam and arms (1 arm was slightly bent anyway) had to be changed to 7.5" beam and you are the 1st person to say that the originals are better, everyone was saying go polybushes and I have found them to be better. Each and to there own though.
Wasn't mine thank fuck it was Ade500's not long put it that way after that he replaced all for powerflex and engine mounts for vibra tech and after removal you could see they(flowflex) were all shagged, it melted due to turbo heat

Did he have a full kit? What did the running gear bushes end up like? Having second thoughts now!
It's all down to personal preference what you like basically and me along with most others on here found powerflex/superflex to be very good I also have billet solid rear beam mounts as they are better than poly ones and I'm getting vibra tech engine mounts and ggr diff mount
I've also gone standard gearbox mount as I said before down to preference solid gearbox mounts I told are very harsh (especially if your car is set up stiff) and can kill box's/diffs
Its not the shape of them bud, its the reason they break go out of shape quick is because they are cheap for a reason (they are made cheaply not the same as powerflex/superflex)

PolyBushing a Sapphire Cosworth
I don't know what else to say. That is so bad. How long was they on for?
