Ours are orange but we can do any colour, but changing the colour would mean an additional cost which imo is a bit of a waste. The powerflex purple does look very nice though, but I think it could look a bit chavy on a cossworth, perhaps black would give a nice standard look

Apparently the different properties between colours of dye have a different effect on the performance of the bush or so i was told by Prothane. I fitted 90% black bushes to the underside of my focus as you will never see them and black bushes are stiffer

You should be buying on performance and reputation, not colour ... Powerflex would be where my money went.....

Purple powerflex - Shore 80
Black powerflex - Shore 95

the higher the shore number the harder the compound of the bush.
