ive had the deflex and flo flex on my rs turbos and sierra cosworths with no problems though some people have had some

the escos i went through burton and order powerflex, but they arrived to be superflex, these were well worth the money, fitment was perfect with no imperfections in the bush itself and the metal inserts were thick unlike the cheaper ones where its really thin

so superflex gets my vote for quality and fitment, though the car isnt on the road yet to tes them

I used floflex bushes on my backend on my sierra, since then the backend likes to come out when it fancies, even at low speeds. I have used powerflex on my cossie and the quality and fit are much better as said above. Spend the extra on powerflex IMO
