What brand bushes are good?

Hi all, looking at replacing my front and rear bushes on my MK1 Escort Van and was just looking for some advise on what brands are worth while and what brands are just rubbish. 
 
The Brands I had in mind are
- SuperPro
- Nolathane
- Powerflex
From what I have read all three appear to be as good as each other.

I was looking at getting a SuperPro front and rear kit off ebay for $350, whats peoples opinions?

    SuperPro,
     
    Try Kent Brake and Clutch on Port road for prices before getting ebay ones. I havent bought bushes in a while but used to go them them as they had good pricing.
     
    Cheers.

    Thanks for the advice, I'll stick with going SuperPro and go see Kent Brake and Clutch and see if I can get a better deal then ebay.

    Great thread because I was about to ask the same thing! If it's ok Eskie92, can I also ask on your thread, does anyone make black coloured nolathane bushes? So they look like rubber but have the performance benefits.

    I bought Whiteline suspension bushes a few years ago. They are almost black and I got them from Wilkinson Suspension in WA. Great people to deal with. They were cheaper than any of my regular suppliers and were shipped to Melbourne next day. Hopefully they still sell them so I can get more for my latest projects.

    That's cool anyone can share this thread, powerflex do a black range of bushes but they are marketed for racing and not street. I was looking at getting them but superpro seem to have a larger range and I don't want to have different brand bushes through out my van

    Just a quick question, are you still able to buy standard style rubber bushes or are we limited to the polyurethane products?
