They are good, but obviously they are the big brand everyone knows.
Best place to get some is from rally design. They are cheaper and just as good.

better tbh from rally design if you get the red ones. power flex were far too soft for me.

when you say they were far too soft for you, what negative feedback did it give to your car that you noticed?

they were too soft, i think its self explanatory. thats my opinion on them. guarantee or not, they left far too much movement.

you're not putting out a lot of power or driving it as hard as i do. for your average road car, they may be ok. i wouldn't bother if i was trying to do things as good as i can with bushes.

to put it another way, why bother changing them if there are better ones available for a lot less money. pay for the brand name imho, not the quality of the product with power flex stuff.
again, thats my opinion based around what I've found with my own car. i don't expect it to make sense to others.

What coloured ones did you use nic. Don't/didn't they do a few colours which related to the stiffness.
I know I used the power flex ones as I got a complete bargain on eBay. A full set for everything possible that could be changed for £60. They were the purple ones and the were very good imo.

can't think how many months they were in for, maybe 3-4 before i changed them. loads of movement. them rally design ones have been in for a couple of years, maybe 8k miles perhaps, loads of drag days and kicking the crap out of it, spot on. power flex seriously were just not good enough. like i say though above, an average road car, probably fine. i was just saying my own views after using them. cheaper better ones, seem better.
