I need to sort out most of my front end bushes. anti roll bar, Tie rods etc.

I'm not a huge fan of poly bushes for a daily so is there anywhere does all bushes in rubber. cant seem to find the ARB D bushes for one. i have a 21mm bar with early 2 bolt clamps

https://www.vwheritage.com/type-25-bus/ ... ion-bushes These have a 21mm roll bar bush, and most of the others I think.

I don't think the "performance" upgrade of Powerflex is worthwhile or necessary, however, I have been using their bushes (on caravelle that is my daily) simply because I am concerned that the black rubber ones will be as good as other rubber parts and will simply perish to nothing in a week and I can't be bothered to do it again!

That's what I hear almost all rubber bushes are much shorter life than before often only lasting a year.

There must be some better than others but I'd be inclinded to trust Brickwerks sourcing over others.

I have a part from VWH just last week which was sold as genuine VW but was not, probably just a mistake but you rarely hear of Brickwerks making these mistakes, they seem to value their reputation more.
