Flo flex or powerflex
Has anyone had Flo flex? What are they like compared to powerflex? Wanting to get wishbone bushes, floflex are aboout £15 cheaper so thinking of them but not sure what theyre like compared to powerflex or is it just paying extra for the brand name sort of thing?

Polyrace are cheap as fuck and only the powerflex black are stiffer (by a slight margin)

I had Flo-Flex bushes on my mx5.
Absolutely terrible, the bushes split and ended up tearing. The aluminium inserts that sit inside the bushes go nasty and prevent the pivot motion. The bushes swell over winter causing wishbones to crack.
The mx5 forum really don't rate them, they also needed shaving down before they actually fitted. Always go with Polybush or if you want the car to feel 10 times better and still be comfortable, use standard citroen bushes. You'll be surprised how different the car will feel.

In reality though, it's because MX5 owners are benders, try freezing the bushes before fitting them, that way you won't scratch your scissors trying to wedge them into the wishbones 
I'm just yanking your chain there like, but I have used flo-flex bushes myself to rebush the rear beam on a StreetKa, no issues at all, survived winter fine, worked a treat.

Powerflex have a lifetime warranty and the company is happy to deal with design issues should they arise.
