I have recently bought 4 of those , fitted two to the front with powerflex rollbar bushes , much tighter feel to the car, the originals although weren't completly shot were well worn @50k mls.They much more substantial than others advertised and better than the OEM.

On the subject of Powerflex bushes, or any other type of Poly bushes,
how much extra noise transfer is there compared to standard rubber ?

Depends if you go for standard or black, standard bushes have the same amount of noise absorption as the factory bushes, black is designed for fast road or track use.

I fitted the standard poly bushes on the front arms and I am very pleased with them. Once fitted they should never need replacing.
