Here you go.... http://www.globalwest.net/stock-lower-control-arm-aluminum-bushings-camaro-1967-1968-1969-global-west-.html
I went with Global West for my lowers. They have uppers also.
I went AFCO in my lowers mainly cause I am cheap. It is not drive-able currently so I don't know if it was a good Idea or not yet.

Random question, but I plan on getting a complete polygraphite kit from PST. Does anybody know how their bushings compare to delrin bushings? I know when I had my BMW I had 75D poly bushings, which were supposedly the hardest poly material. The next hardest material was solid aluminum. I've contacted PST but haven't gotten a response yet. If their material is similar in stiffness to delrin bushings, I'll just install their control arm bushings.
If not, I'll buy the Global West bushings.

bmw 75d bushings? i would assume there 75 durometer and from what i know most control arm bushing are 85 to 95 duro.id stay away from poly front a arm bushings they cause stiction,delrin is a much better matl. and over a 10-15 yr span urethanes durometer gets softer with age,it wants to turn back to a liquid form.ask how i know?the shop i work at mfgs. silicone and urethane products,not car related and we have a roller covered with goo stuck to a shop cabinet shelf!

That's the chart from the company I got my BMW's bushings from.
I want the GW bushings, but PST said they won't remove the lower control arm bushings and sell the kit at a lower price, so I'm not sure I want to buy their kit and then buy the GW bushings too. Then I'd be paying more money and I'd be stuck with bushings I'd never use.
