Do you have to cut the old bushes out? or can they be pressed out? And what is the central sleeve fit like over the captive stud shank? ie preferably nice and snug.
Could you ask powerflex to do a group buy for these (obviously with mods approval)as there seems to be substantial interest, might be a good idea to get prices for all the rear suspension bushes too as im sure most people will want to replace these if there removing the subframe.

you leave the outer sleave in and press the inner sleave and rubber out, they fit really nice and snug. il speak to them about prices for groub buys on the subframe bushes and the rear suspension bushes.

have you noticed any difference from having these fitted
cars not ready to be driven yet got quite alot more to do on the car before its ready to be on the road so dont no how much difference they will make

I would imagine there isnt much difference in feel between having these fitted and using a whiteline align and lock kit like myself and alot of other members have done. But the key fact is that you cant buy standard replacement bushes, so if they are worn out your only option previously was to replace the complete frame. So in that respect its very good news that these will be available shortly.
