I have no experiance of the britpart bushes, but from personal experiance and that of others, I wouldn't bother with the deflex bushes. Certainly the rear damper bushes are a joke (unless your the one in the middle of no where with no rear dampers) and the quality of the rest of their bushes arn't much better.

When I removed them from mine after not that many miles they wern't in a pretty state. When finally removing the delfex bushes from the panhard rod, 2-3 thousand miles from new at the most, I gave up trying to thump the crush tubes out with a big hammer, it had grown in so much that I ended up using a press to get them out. So much for not needing a press to replace them.

All reports are that only Superpro are worth getting, daughter has run with Polybushes with no probs for 4 years but it will be Sperpro for me on the 90 rebuild, but my old 110 handles just fine on genuine rubber bushes.

You takes the choice and pay the price it seems, but not heard much good about the bRITPART ONES !
