Default Poly Bush ?

Has anybody poly bushed their suspension? If so where were the bushes sourced?

I haven't done any of my bushes yet, but when I get around to it I'll use Powerflex bushes - https://www.powerflex.co.uk/ - these are the most well known brand for poly bushes.

I don't think polybushes are available for our cars, not sexy enough for anyone to bother.

I use Poly Bush for the rear trailing arms on these as the OEM ones aren't as great in their design. the hollow parts means they lose alot of "feel" once they start to wear.
