Thumbs up New Bushings Arrived!

Alright, we finally got some good bushings back in and we will be able to guarantee the source since we deal with the manufacturer directly. Some of you may be familiar with this company, PowerFlex UK, but we will still post some intro info regarding them for those of you who want to know more about them before you purchase.

PowerFlex are based and manufactured in UK, the place where many top end performance cars and parts builders are located, and we are now proud to be their distributor. They offer high quality polyurethane bushing products for many different brands and models of vehicles, including your 7 & 8 (Sorry, nothing for cars older than FD) We can also get you any PowerFlex product for other vehicles with a good discounted price. As long as you see it on their website, we can get it. Just send us an inquiry via email at sales@jklre.com and we will get back to you as soon as we possibly can.

The company puts great bushing engineering and research into making superior suspension components for both street and competition vehicles. Their products are widely used in Europe from rally cars to street rides.

Note: We deal directly with PowerFlex headquarter in UK via our UK branch so we no longer have to worry about supply shortage. As some of you may know, we had experienced some serious supply shortages on SuperPro due to the fact that all US orders have to go through their central NA distributor now.

As far as some of you may concern, how good are these bushings compare to the SuperPro bushings we used to carry? The answer is PowerFlex bushings are very siimlar in material quality and better in bushing options. The full SuperPro kit only offers 24 bushings (some people call it 28 because two sets of bushings have 2 piece designs) and it does not offer bushings for rear lower control arm or front & rear sway bar mounts. PowerFlex is your ultimate resolution to bushing problems because it offers a full 29 piece kit (or 44 piece if you count all the bushings as individual pieces). Here is a little comparison chart on what PowerFlex has to offer:

Pricing: we are offering these exclusive prices based on the current exchange rate and shipping rate so minor adjustments in prices might be applied so please check with us if you would like a precise quote. Shipping cost here are referring to US domestic shipping, so usually around $30.

Full Kit (44 bushings, 24 crushtubes): $680 + shipping (retails over $820)
Base Kit (SuperPro equivalent kit): $560 + shipping

Other package deals are also available upon request. We are currently holding this intro GB and possibly offering additional discount if enough orders are received. Email us at sales@jklre.com for specific questions.


Payment Instructions:
We are now collecting full payment for the orders you would like to place and shipping will be charged when we are ready to ship your bushings. Before shipping your orders, the additional GB discounts will be deducted or reimbursed to you if applicable. If you want a custom package deal, please pm us for a price quote. Payments can be made via Paypal direct transfer (3% fee must be added), Paypal e-check ($5 USD fee must be added), or direct credit card by calling us!

If paying via Paypal, you MUST put "RX7Club PowerFlex GB - Your RX7Club Screen Name" in the title, then put your order description in the description field. This is very important for us in terms of keeping a correct record of your order. If you are placing a custom package order, please make sure you are including all the bushings you discussed with us!


PowerFlex bushings come in neatly packaged individual boxes with sealed grease packs. And here are some pictures of the sample kit we just received yesterday.

Full Kit


Front Only Kit with steering rack bushings and front sway bar mount bushings


Rear Only Kit with rear LCA bushings and rear sway bar mount bushings


Front & Rear sway bar mount bushing kit


Some additional pics

We want to give the initial GB at least 3-4 weeks before we send the orders in so we can place as large of an order as possible to reduce the shipping cost overseas hence reducing the price for everyone who participates in the GB.

We are now collecting full payment for the orders you would like to place and shipping will be charged when we are ready to ship your bushings.

Yes, all the bushings included are for stock suspension components, if you have aftermarket rear shocks, the shock bushings will not work!


Current List:
1. money (Full Kit)
2. twinsinside (Full Kit)
3. NCmontegott (Full Kit)
4. johgar (Full exclude trailing, toe)
5. neit_jnf (diff, toe, trailing, steering, shock)

yeah, these are at ready to order status, our next bushing shipment is coming in about a week or so. We will have bushings in stock and ready to ship so no extra waiting. As far as pricing, we will just stick with the listed prices above since it seems like not enough people are jumping in to make additional discount happen.

How is the JKL forum still up? Shouldn't there be a sticky at the top telling the story of all the people that paid for items and never received them? lol

I've dealt with JKL in the past and always got my parts in a timely manner. Sure you're not thinking of someone else?

Check out this thread https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=869649

At least I got something for my money. Not what I paid for but better than several people who put down deposits over a year ago and have nothing to show for it.
