Default Flo-Flex polybushes?
Just looking through the bay of E and found these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Haynes-Roa...item416c8305da

A full set of bushes for £59 seems decent, anyone know what their quality is like?

These are made using mild steel inserts its up to you but if it was my car I would not use them cause I would want to know there not going to rust over the winter

The Flo-Flex inserts are mild steel, I had bought them not realising and then returned them. I also thought they were very soft not like the last set I had from 3GE.

I thought the price was too good to be true and it makes sense if the crush tubes are mild steel. The bush sets I supply are 303 grade stainless steel but then that is why they are £95 for 22 bushes.

So the bushes are fine, just the crush tubes need to be stainless?
