    Prefer a kit like what you can buy from LMR made with plastic

    Hmmm... I think you're talking about the Prothane total kits...

    If that's it then that's what I'd go with. I can't think of a reason why you'd want them to all be rubber with exception of the upper control arm bushings.

    Were it me, I'd get a complete urethane bushing kit and either a set of OEM upper control arms or just the rubber control arm bushings from Maximum Motorsports. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=543

    If you're hell bent on getting rubber bushings, you should be able to get them individually from your favorite parts store.

    Thanks for the reply. I was looking for a complete kit of rubber bushings. I do not the hardness of plastic bushings.

    I can't recall ever seeing the rubber bushings in a complete kit form.

    I have been thinking of doing a complete urethane bushing kit. What are your concerns about the harder bushing? My stang has 177xxx mi. and could benifit from some new bushings and I have never had the luxury of comparing it to a stang with a "tighter" suspension or anything with urethane bushings. Just wondering.....

    Never seen a replacement rubber kit either. Energy Suspension's bushings are supposedly softer than the ones offered by Prothane, but they're both harsher than the OEM rubber.

    You have to buy them individually. Any parts store can get them.
