Default Powerflex Bushes Alternative

Hi all,

Is there a cheaper alternative to Powerflex? There used to be a company called Delflex which I can't seem to find now.

Cheers
Dave

Ive recently used SuperPro and think they are awsome, Only been fitted a few months so I don't know if they will stand the test of time but they look well made and they handling is spot on, Not sure if they do Ford though

Powerflex is fit and forget anything else is a waste of time.

I bought a 3dr with a brand new set of floflex bushes fitted didn't feel right, so I swapped the front arb inner and outer out for a set of power flex I had and the bushes new flo flex were shot. I'll check my photobucket to see if I have the pics.

Ive had Flo-Flex on my car for 5-6years now, from when they were deflex iirc. Never had any issues and they fit easily. Thats 40,000miles and numerous track days too!

only one person on this forum had anything bad to say about powerflex, whereas lots have said the others weren't up to scratch

not that EVERY bush is of inferior quality, some have lasted the test of time quite well but you have to ask yourself this question

would you rather fit and forget or fit and hope the batch that were made for your car were good enough to last?

Powerflex for me.

I fitted Deflex bushes on my series 2 RST and they were proper shit. It was a few years ago now though so I don't know if they're any better now or not.
