In my experience, Powerflex

There has been quite a few threads on this subject over the years and every time Powerflex come out on top, regardless of who the competition is.

When you look at the floflex kits the bushes are never exactly the same as the powerflex.powerflex always look similar and fit much the same as standard bushes.i have bought the cheap before and they are a bitch to fit.my friend bought some floflex for his orion and he fitted the strut top mounts.he hadnt fitted the struts but just by looking at them you could see they were going to need cutting about to fit and they rattled about in the hole where they should be tight.powerflex all the way.usually the cheap bushes come in a bag with no instructions of where they go.they are cheap for a reason.

I'm not sure if it's still the same nowadays, but when I bought a full set of Powerflex bushes for my Evo, ebay was miles cheaper than anywhere else.

flo flex are a lot better these days, powerflex are good but imo overpriced.
Anyone who needs instructions really shouldn't be doing the job themselves imo.
I would buy superflex before powerflex, more experience.
