Suspension bushings; are there Poly options?
Hey guys, I need a quick favor on this one...Jason (BudFreak) has my car and is doing the 4.44 swap on it and a bunch of maintenance right now, and we ran into an unexpected snag (as always happens when working on a car, lol!). He said my rear bushings are falling apart.
Is there a Poly kit that will fit our cars, or non-OE options? Something a bit stiffer than stock would be nice, but honestly, anything that would work would be great right about now...Especially if it's affordable...I've already blown my budget but I'm also not a huge fan of the "hockey puck" solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Oh..Mislabeled title and vauge area of car = Whoops. I think Earthworm was working on a poly group buy for them a while back, wasnt he? If not..you can always find a bushing that has the same OD and drill it out, or find one with the same ID and machine it down

Nah it was my mistake, when he called me I thought it was the suspension bushings.
I don't have the option to modify a bushing that's close, since the car's 2 states away right now. If anyone knows of a fix, please post and let me know.
