Rear lower shock bushings question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have installed koni orange shocks and struts on my camaro and I found out that the lower shock bushing that they come with is rubber so I wanted to change it to a poly urethane bushing. So I wanted to know if I just need to get a oem sized bushing or is their a specific bushing that I need for those shocks?
Also is there anything that I need to know about installing the lower shock bushings?

Thanks for your help

the shock bushing only soften the bumps. There's no performance benefit to it. It would just make the bumps harsher.
