I bought a set of these years ago from either VVDS or V force, cant quite remember. Only put them in last year, as per most things like this fit wasnt
exactly factory, but I guess no aftermarket replacemnt is. No problems as yet, but not many miles accumulated either.

You could always use good quality rubber ones on the inside and have the Jaycee spring plate retainers on the outside

Scroll down and they are there

you can always ask what durometer rating they are, you can compair them to others that are available, it might be possible to get the rating of the
standard rubber bushes so you have a reference

I take it IRS not swinger?
I can't speak highly enough of the quality of Toplines Urethanes bushings.
http://toplineparts.com/products/hightechurethane.htm
My suspension really cops a work out on teh shitty roads round here and they are still perfect and not noisy like typical Urethane bushings
