Flo-flex also sell on ebay and seem to be good quality. GSF also do a full kit on ebay thats quite cheap. I have used both on my golfs and they last well enough despite the fact they are a fraction of the (rip off) price of powerflex bushes. Its worth tapping DH up for info on audi TT wishbone bushes too if your worried about harshness issues as Im sure I remember him harping on about the bountiful joy he got out of using an OEM product rather than an aftermarket one  for an overall benefit :grin:.

TT are better than standard as its a full bush so firmer but no where near as firm as poly bush

Would never polybush a road car again, it makes the ride far too harsh for my liking.

OEM all the way.
