Anti roll bar bushes

[DanSej6]

What's the general concensus on these? Mine are in need of replacement and all I can find so far are genuine Renault ones at around £40 for all four or powerflex ones at around £50. Seems a bit excessive for 4 little pieces of rubber that are only a few quid for the normal Clio's. ECP say they can't find the larger sizes than what's incorrectly listed for my reg.
Anyone know of other options for ph2 172 cup ARB bushes?

At least from the dealer the rubber will last, or you hope anyway. It's what I went with anyway in the end.

I suspect the price is down to economies of scale ; you can bet there are plenty more non Sport Clios about, making it more worthwhile making a batch of bushes up.

I went for powerflex black on my 172 cup, about 55 quid...

I almost went with PowerFlex bushes TBH. However, I heard reports that they could squeak. I am only changing my bushes because they have perished on the ARB.

My Powerflex ARB bushes don't squeak, although between my exhaust and the stereo I couldn't hear them if they did, seriously though everything on my car is polybushed and nothing has ever squeaked, at normal driving speeds with the stereo off the only thing I can hear is the general rattle of the Clio's build quality.

I managed to get a hold of some FirstLine ones in the end. Fitted them tonight, bit of a mission for some simple ARB bushes. I'll post the code up tomorrow once I recover the packages they came in so other people can save some money.
It was roughly £10 for all four bushes, but there was probably a bit of discount on there.
