Is anyone running powerflex bushes and is there any noticable difference above standard bushes.
Is it worth the extra cash to fit these and do they last longer?
Any help most appreciated.

yes i can feel te difference ,,eccentric wishbone bushes and arb bushes from the zone shop,while your at it you might need to change the arb link arm bushes( you can get them from Superflex ),,as to lasting dont know but the stearing is a lot more precise and positive and the ride is only marginally harder
a good buy i thought but the zone shop does not seem to do thm anymore

they will last longer because the old rubber ones tend to perish if oil spills on them ,the powerflex ones are silicone or something coated and shouldnt perish ,
they can be a pig to fit but a bit of lube like washing up liquid helps
