Anyone had any issues with the cheaper ones on ebay or is it best to buy the delphi etc.

I believe longevity maybe an issue...
There is good reports from Lemforder parts and a relatively / comparable price

I fitted poly bushes to front suspension arms, as a measure of how quickly they wear they only supply the black ones. I.m working on the principle I won't have to change them again, as for harshness if you go from a knackered bush to poly or rubber it seems much stiffer, it's just that the poly stays like that for longer.
