Can't say I've ever tried them but keep in mind not all poly is the same. From my experience the Australians seem to do the best job in formulation and technical design of poly bushes. The american poly (energy) is way too hard and the brit stuff (powerflex) way too brittle (not to mention horribly designed). I'd save up for Super Pro or Whiteline bushes, to be honest.

I've had various Powerflex sets split and tear. I recently bought a set for my Pug 106 and was appalled at the design(not much available for that car). It's obvious they just took an OEM bush and took a mold directly off a bush rather than having it drawn up. It looks like some blind baker took a spatula and molded a bushing out of poly.

Agreed. Though some designs have knurling in the surface to trap grease for longer intervals between greasing. Regreasing depends a bit on conditions. I've gone several years in dry conditions or annually in wet.
