Default deflex V polyflex / superflex

i am trying to do my xr3i on a tight budget but in the past i have always used superflex bushes but deflex are so much cheaper .
are deflex really that much worse or is the massive saving justifyable (sp) as i think they come with a lifetime warranty dont they ?

they work just fine without having to pay for flash packing and advertizing.

but make sure you order the right diamiter bushes for the anti roll bars.

of the main player, deflex get a hard time because they aren't always of the quality you owuld expect, but they do have the advantage of being much cheaper

if you want the right stuff, all the gadgets and gizmos and fiting kits and the like, then i'd recomend power flex, the right bush, with grease and fiting kits and eveything, and they fit right too, not like some other bush kits which you have to strugle and squeeze into position

if you are on a budget though, just be prepared to have a bit of hassle getting deflex to sort their shit out

I fitted Deflex stuff to my old 3i cabs and I agree that the odd bushes can be a tight squeeze, but, for the money and the way it totally transformed the jelly like feel of the car you'll get no complaints from me.

anybody got a link for the bush companies above as my car is bushless at the moment as i ripped out all the tired ford shite in a moment of madness,and will need a replacement when i get my stuff back from the powder coaters,went to my local ford dealer and he advised me to get poly bushes as he said at the moment they are choca-bloc fitting new suspension bushes/components on all cars older than 2 years due to all the speed bumps about here
