Basicaly uprated versions of your standard suspension bushes they are 25-30% more stiffer = better handling, i got a couple of paragraphs from there website anyway
www.powerflex.co.uk
Why do I need them?
POWERFLEX bushes improve your cars' road holding and chassis performance by controlling the amount of unwanted flex in the suspension. This means your suspension is doing what it is supposed to. It means your tyres have greater contact with the road at all times therefore improving safety and performance. Correctly formulated polyurethane is as good if not better at noise, vibration and harshness suppression when compared to rubber.
Are they easy to fit?
We design all the bushes so that they can be fitted without special tools. However sometimes it is a lot harder to remove the old bushes than fit the new ones. If you feel you have very little mechanical knowledge, experience, talent or tools, either ask a friend or get them professionally fitted.

The front wishbones have 2 bushes, 1 at the front, and 1 at the rear, this kit is all 4

It would have been easier to say
Driver Side Front : Inner and Outer Bush (2)
Passenger Side Front : Inner and Outer Bush (2)
So 4 bushes will do the front of the Polo.
Edit:
http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products.asp ... ubmit1.y=8
The bushes are the same for the mk4 and mk5 im sure and also the bushes are £17.50 each for the inners and outers £20. Ordering from the site is normally (4 bushes) 17.50+17.50+20+20 = £75 + delivery.
GB is £56 INC VAT & DEL so you basically are saving £20 quid.
I am defo wanting these as i have one worn drivers bush and meant to get these before New Year - so yeah - im a defo.

Did you feel a noticable change?
How hard are they to fit on a 6n/6n2, as I went on the Powerflex website and they talk about sometimes it's difficult to get the old bushes out etc, needing to cut them with a hacksaw or buring them out with a blowtorch.
