Not sure of the Lemforder ones but I've just fitted the Febi - Bilstein ones that seem to be used a lot on here and can vouch for them.
Fitted properly they make a huge difference to the characteristics of the car.  :y

Note the correct orientation of the old bush before removing it, and obviously fit new the same way. Otherwise it will handle oddly.

Lemforder(cheaper) and vx bushes are the same. I have Febi in mine, just to see, and they are cheaper still. Seem ok so far.

I found the Febi-Bilstein ones from Vauxhall World Parts excellent quality.
