I need to get a full set of bushes for my project, fornt and rear

Just wondering which out of the two people had the best experiences with?

iv normally gone with Powerflex ones but Flo-Flex do some extra ones such as steering rack mounts, rear arb etc.

have heard that the Flo-Flex ones are not a great fit?

was thinking maybe a mix of the two would be needed.

any ideas/experiences?

They are essentially the same - they cant really go wrong in making them!

Go to Rally Design - they are cheapest and do different levels of 'hardness'

flo-flex... never head of them, but since they do lots of different ones then that would lead me to think they were de-flex who "vanished" a while ago lol

as WillllyF said, rallydesign and get what you fancy. imho yellows for most conditions and red if you live on track (maybe)

looking at them, either flo-flex purchased the molds from de-flex as they went under, or its de-flex under a new name and new colour poly lol

IMO get the 'important' ones (arms, beam, tie bars) from RallyDesign as they are proven to be decent. Then get the extra ones (rack mounts, etc) from Flo-Flex. The Raldes ones do feel a better quality, but most of the Flo-Flex ones fitted okay.

Stuart, I'm sure they shared the same website for a while too!

i bought dome flo-flex rear beam bushes last year, poorly produced and didn't fit that well at all. Go for the raldes ones for the main bushes.

I've got rally design yellows. Good price and fitment was top. They're still strong now, a good 18 months since first fitment.
