Powerflex VS Superflex Bushes

[el-bunyip]

Hi

I need to change the rear anti-roll bar bushes on my 1989 E30 325i sport and I'm considering polyurethane's. Now the question is, which are better Powerflex or Superflex, or is there any difference at all? If anyone out there knows can you please point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

I have heard power flex arent very good so I would go with superflex or the standard ones from bmw.

i've seen both and used both, on the ARB,s either will be fine, use new brackets and link rods.

the ones that have failed and cused issues are the wishbone bush powerflex do. the earlier ones were fine, but later 2 peice design has failed , i'm sure jimmy c will tell you about it.

Many thanks guys. Any other of the Powerflex range of bushes that I should steer clear of?

The only ones i'm not running on my car are the control arm bushes, they changed the design about 2 years ago

The new design allows the control arm to pop out of the lollipop as the bush is in 2 parts and not locked in in any way- not sure if this is still the design

M3 excentrics are the best option for the control arms IMO
