Default Polyurethane bushes, rear suspension

I have an idea to switch to polyurethane bushes (Powerflex type thing) all-around. Found bushes for front, but not for rear.

Any advice? Are they replaceable at all. Or should I go for harder rubber bushes?

I'll give the same advice as before

for street use use the hard rubber RS or RS type

for track use use monoballs

order 6 of the 2290009 sport hardness bushes


they go on the inboard end of arm #12 & #29 and the rear inboard end of #24(the leading inboard end of #24 is already an rubber coated monoball), then replace arm #25 w/ a Tarret or Rennline toe arm w/ lock kit

That is exactly what I ordered, 6, since I already have Tarret toe arms with locking plates. I also ordered the rennline GT2 subframe tilt kit.
