Default Decent quality poly bushes in black ?

Any recommendations for a good quality poly bush supplier ?

I know powerflex have a good rep, but I really want more of an original look rather than yellow or purple and their black ones are rock hard race spec

Thanks for any info

They are too hard for me I think mate, it's going to be a 100% road car and race spec bushes would shake my fillings out !

Are they really that harsh then? I was literally going to order some tonight and would prefer black but as mark mines only a road car and the roads round here aren't great

I've got some of the blacks on mine and it's fine for me. The rest are rose joints so they are soft compared to them lol

Maybe just new ford ones are your best option

What's the ride like on the blacks Ade ?

Not sure if I should use Ford bushes, especially on the beam.

I've got a MSD poly diff mount and should be picking up my 6 degree beam from MK next weekend.

Was hoping that a little bit of give on the beam bushes would mitigate the harshness of all the rose joints
