I'd go for Baxter, proven quality and about the same price I guess, Takes all that time getting them out/in why save pennies in the end?

The Ebay sellers response was:-
Hi they are not listed to fit the Syncro and they are made by Topran germany.
I suspect he is saying not syncro because they are cheaper aftermarket parts and he is not confident on their durability. But physically they should be the same.
New baby forcing me to watch the pennies (as these are about half the price), doing the work is not an issue for me.
Still, if anyone has any experiance with Topran bushes please let me know

Not the quickest of jobs, I'd be fitting the best possible, otherwise you'll just have to do it again sooner!
Re: Rear Trailing arm bushes..any thoughts on these?
Agreed. I'll await payday and deal with Baxter. Thanks all
