Powerflex have a good reputation, bear in mind the ride is stiffer and you may hear some creaking sounds when the rubbers are cold.

As for fitting, it can be a pig! Rear axle bushes are not pleasant to change.

 :smiley:Hi.... I have recently replaced the bushes in my Mk2 and I used Superpro urethanes in the front lower control arms and sway bar link bushes. In the rear beam arm I used the O.E. rubber bushes. I have found the urethanes to be way too harsh in the rear and besides being noisey they are just too stiff for street performance use. A new set of of high duro rubber bushes in the rear will give you the best of both worlds and it is well worth the extra effort to have them pressed in by someone who knows what they are doing. Some of the urethane products may come as a two piece bush to make fitting easier but that is not the ideal way to go when it comes to application. Good quality urethanes in the front are fine but stick to rubber in the rear is my advice. While you're at it why not fabricate a light weight underbrace between the lower arms. These bars are a great way to stop the arms from walking through those tight turns and keep the alignment angles more consistent.
