Just replace them with urethane types. I don't know if powerflex have them.

I too was on the prowl for H&R bushings a few months ago. After a few calls and playing middle man between H&R and Promini I got them to quote me a price of $42 for a new set. They both told me they do not sell them without the bar which sounds ridiculous to me, but I guess I bugged them enough that they wanted me to go away.

I didn't go with them though because I thought I could do better and as much as I hear about the H&R's never needing grease, I wanted something I could easily grease if I needed to.

I first got a set of Energy Suspension's generic 19mm bushings with the zerks fitting. Only to find out after getting the car up and apart that they where WAY to big. The hole was the right size but they rest of the bushing and saddle was too big to fit where it needed to go.

Anyway after all that I went with these. http://minspeed.net/MGSB.htm
Perfect size, perfect fit, and easy to grease if need be. I also put a 90* zerks fitting on them to make greasing even easier.
So far so good.
