As I am about to put new springs and shocks on I thought I might as well do the wishbone bushings while I`m at it is there any difference between the powerflex/superpro poly bushes ? or any recommendations which are best

I just put on Chris Walrod's bushings and they work very well.

I put in powerflex bushes last year against the advice of my independent Porsche mechanic who said they won't last and will squeak. He said best option was to replace the whole wishbone with OEM at twice the price. I got talked into it by another independent who said he'd done dozens without complaint. The difference is significant, but not surprising given how shot the old bushes were. I am really happy with the solid feel they've given the front end, but I did notice a squeak when I went over a judder bar last week... hopefully they'll last.

I've used both types on various applications and found that you can't really go wrong with a leading brand like the ones you mention. Budget and branded are vastly different but branded and branded are fine - Albeit some people have personal favorites or the occasional issue with them...

Mine are the Superflex version and are good so far after nearly 2 years.

Thanks for the help gents fairly sure I will go with the powerflex, design 911 are doing a repair kit for £99 plus vat del, the powerflex shop has both sets of bushes for about £95 I did ask them if there was any difference in the 2 sets of bushes to the repair kit was the price is for 2 bushes ? so do we assume no washers, grease etc ?
