Without knowing what your intentions are with the car, it's impossible to answer. Different bushings have different uses.
 
stock just normal replacements drive it down the road bushings
stop light to stop light stuff im not a corner hugger id rather go straight less to go wrong
 
bump no answers guess no one has ever changed there leaf bushings
 
What size front spring eye?

that would help.

The urethane bushings are nice for multi-purpose stuff.
 
Your first link is just the stockers for the rear shackles only. With some good penetrating oil on the shackle bolts the day before, you can swap them in about 30 minutes unless the shackle bolts are WAY rusty.

Your second link is all the bushings for the rear shackles and the front spring eye in polyurethane. A bit more work to swap (the spring eye bushings in particular) and may creak a little bit when the lube squeezes out over time.

The third link is just the stock front spring eye bushing.

Also, you might want to check out Rock Auto parts if you decide to get stock stuff. http://www.rockauto.com/

Hope this helps.
 
I like stock rubber for a street car. The urethane is nice for durability but they tend to transfer more road vibration. If you drive your car a lot on the street that will get old.
 
yea i want rubber only because of the sound traveling threw hats one main reason im doing all this have one spot in the rpms that i can NOT handle so im doing new bushings threw out
didn't know there were different size springs 68 340 gts ill have to messure that i guess
is there a complete rubber rebuild kit out there sense im trying to fig out how many peaces sense im doing them all shackle and leaf bushings im seeing like 8 or 10 is that right
 
You need to know the OD of the bushing and the bolt size used in the hanger.

The bushings are usually 2" and 1.5" and through hole is 1/2" or 5/8"
