Are these any good ???? How much cheaper are thay then mazda parts.

Ive got a load of bushes gone on my car but im on a budget. Ive been quoted £370 to replace just six rear nearside bushes two of witch are pillowballs witch i no you can get only mazda one"s and are a little bit exspensive. Ive got alot more bushes gone but can only do one side at a time. (credit crunch and all ) and im wondering if the above wood work out cheaper.
 
Thanks

I\'ve used all superpro bushes (apart from the Mazda only pillowballs) along with quite a few others on here and they are very good but some are a bit tricky to get in. Every now and again you will see a group buy on them which helps.

Ive just got the cost down by useing powerflex rather then mazda one"s witch has helped. Ive just been informed aswell that powerflex have just realesed pillowball bushes aswell. So you no longer have to get them mazda only one"s. :Giggle

Powerflex is a UK company that \'grew\' out of SuperPro. Powerflex\'s owner used to be SuperPro\'s dealer but decided to go his own way and focus on euro cars.


So in the end SuperPro has the most technical background (Fulcrum) and as I talked to their company chief a couple of years ago they go by the motto \'if we can\'t offer something better, we recommend to use OEM parts\'. That\'s why they leave the pillow balls alone.

YEs, the OEM ones wear out, but ain\'t that normal after 13+ years of use on a sportscar?

Try to bu a similar performing car of that age and you\'ll end up with a Porsche, gues what their bushings cost

So whats the damage?  Â£Â£Â£s I\'m guessing :)

I\'ve been putting off replacing my bushes, would be good to get a complete set, pillowballs and all.
