Hi does anyone have experience of Flo-flex bushes? Are they any good and if not what brand should I look for?
Thanks in advance

Re: Flo-flex bushes
Another vote for Superflex, I got mine from Chris Witor.
I was tempted by the cheap price of Flo flex on eBay and bought the full front set, complete waste of money the quality is poor and they are difficult to fit. They went in the bin.

Re: Flo-flex bushes
+1 for SuperFlex. The Club stock some of these. Chris Witior will have the ones the Club doesn't stock and he gives a discount to members for the bushes only.

Re: Flo-flex bushes
This is the perfect example of "you get what you pay for". All the Super Flex bushes I've fitted are still going strong to this very day.
