I got the 67 all torn apart and got most of the parts ready to install. I was just wondering what you guys reccomend for the rear leaf spring bushings. Here is a setup on the car

650-700 horse blown small block
2004r overdrive trans
9" rear 31 spline 3.7 gear lockright

sc&c front arms with extra tall ball joint
stock lowers
DSE 2" drop coils for sbc and 2" rear drop multi leafs
front hotchkis 1 1/8" hollow sway bar
4 wheel discs
3rd gen power steering box

The DSE springs have the rubber bushing in the front and no bushings at the shackle end. Should I press out the rubber and run delrins front and rear? Run rubber all the way around or a mixture of both? I am going to stay far from polyurethane...not a fan of them at all.

The car is 95% street, so looking for somewhat of a good ride, but want excellent handling performance also.

bushing. Leave the front rubber bushing and run the derlin bushings in the rear. I am using the ones from Global West.
