Default Energy Suspension bushing rear Spring seat!

Well I was searching and found that Energy Suspension has poly replacements for the rear upper and lower spring seats. We are going to give these a try.
here is the link to their site.

http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/sboots.html

Scoll down

Style A would be for the bottom of the spring seat
9.6121 is what looks like will fit the bottom.

Style D is what looks like will fit the top spring seat
Not sure on the size.

Any thoughts.

DIY- remove rear springs. replace old spring seats with new ones. reassemble. only need a 17mm socket to take off rear shocks...this would be a good alternative to have to keep from buying new rubber ones that will wear faster than the poly ones....good find.

Are you guys really going through those bushings that fast? If you dont mind, please post where your from. The only thing i can think of is if you live in a climate that is really dry which may dry out the factory ones faster.

BTW speaking of bushings, has anyone found a poly set for the front end yet I noticed mine are starting to crack.

TY

Yes, I would think that more noise and vibration would be transfered to the cabin with the harder bushings.
