Pretty much like all their stuff to be honest !
And the reason it wasn't improving (correct me if I'm wrong) was because nobody had done what Piggy is doing, and working with them to improve the product..
Agree with that to a certian degree good on piggy, BUT if Powerflex tested their products correctly and thoroughly then they would fit well and perform first time.
I have ordered lots in the past 2 full sets for my other cars, and there was something wrong with every bush, Powerflex sorted it quickly but still its a bit slack that they werent right first time. Ironically the only bush i didn't have a problem with was their original design 306 wishbone bush.
Their lower engine mount was the last straw for me, i spent ages on the phone and emailing them and after about 4 attempts their new and improved one still wasn't great, so i am going to be a little against them, i have just lost faith in their products.

I agree but surley pug spent ages designing the rear mounts to give the passive rear steer and the correct ammount with lots of testing involved , so if powerflex stiffen them and testing is something they seem to do very little of who knows what they will be like.
You could say exactly the same about any aftermarket product. Do you think companies like Bilstein pump as much money into their R&D for a shock for a 306 as Peugeot would? No because they don't have that kind of money especially to do it for every model they make shocks for. They would never make a profit!
You could about some, but i bet bilstein actually test all their items before selling them. Powerflex just seem to copy an original oem part and the release it for sale without thorough testing. They will have no idea how much it will effect the passive rear steer by stiffening them up.
