Quick google doesn't make them look very promising?

I guess they are slightly cheaper than the tried and tested powerflex. How much did the power coat set you back Ant? I remember you said at Zed fest you were building one off the car and doing a swap.

Look forward to a few pics of the finished job.

Got Powerflex everywhere I could fit them on mine, they're great. Like @Uncle_Clanger says, they're tried and tested.

+1 on the tried and tested PowerFlex route. Granted they are pricey, but they didn't get the reputation from a cereal packet!

Thanks i struggled to get a clear view from google when you search most gives reviews on flo flex instead so not getting much there.They are alot cheaper but advise thats they don't have fancy packaging etc and try to be realistically priced. Come in the same 3 different hardnesses etc not sure if to try

The beam will cost £70 to be blasted and powder coated satin black.
the bushes came out easier than i thought to be honest had a ball joint removal tool and it did it with ease. A quick hacksaw slot and some heat and they tapped out with out issue. Took about an hour for both but i was thinking it would take longer to be honest.

Thats flow flex and they don't review well but cannot find much on Duraflex at all.

Not exactly fancy packaging on the Powerflex, just an entirely adequate plastic box thing when I got mine, can't save much on that. Perhaps someone should buy the Duraflex just to see. Shame I don't need any, re-bushed everything over last winter and they're just fine. Got a creak from the Whiteline eccentric wishbone bushes, but that'll be a matter of dropping the back end out again and slapping more bush grease in there. Won't take so long this time, all the bolts etc should come undone nice and easy. Said the man who likes to spread some copperslip about.
