Hi,

Get NYLATRON for the back.

Trust me - they will last. And yes, they are hard. But they work and they 
last.

The current rubber stuff is C-R-A-P and won't last as long as the original 
ones did. Unless you like doing this job every few years, get the best 
bushings you can afford.

Also note that the fronts will last longer than the rears because of how 
they are stressed... the rears will egg out unless you get high quality 
stuff.

Also note that no matter what, urethane is the softest bushing material 
you should use for your front upper control arms. I've seen the rubber 
ones fail in less than 500 miles.

:-)
