Im not sure which one you need Robert but have you considered Vlamos bushes instead of nolathane?
Two options I would consider well before nolathane. I have used some Vlamos rear control arm bushes in my car and have a set of front LCA bushes and steering rack bushes ready to go in next weekend, they are very highly regarded, just thought you might want to check them out. Cheers.

Robert if you fit Nolathane bushes to your V8 I think you will be disappointed with the harshness of the ride compared to the Vlamos bushes, which are an exact copy of the original japanese rubber bushes. I have been there and took the Nolathane back out. Made my 31 ride like a Bedford truck.

The differance in price between BRANZ & VLAMOS Front Lower Control Arm Bush's is about $130-$150 i cannott give you any info on ride quality and so on.I've heard good things about BRANZ i've also heard nothing but exstreamly awsome stuff about VFT. About 1 month or so ago i went into a PEDDERS to ask how much there bush's are as i told him that i wanted to compair prices with me supplying the bush's and they fit them or they supply & fit.Straite away he said forget about there's and he said have you heard of Andrew before he got anything more out i said are you talking abouit VLAMOS VFT Bush's which he said yes i was told not to waste money as i would'nt be happy with the end result with any other bush.I went to acouple of other Pedders and they all new of and suggested VLAMOS VFT Bush's as soon as they heard i had a SOARER.Even one PEDDERS i went in with the part numbers and asked for the price of parts again the bloke who was only a young bloke said dont waste your money.He opened the door to the Factory from behind the front counter and pointed to a very very nice GT-T twin turbo.He told me he learnt the hard way by puttin Nolothane bush's in and said there are Bush's called VFT from Queensland and went on and explained everything i've been told about them but more.But i was talking to another Soarer Owner and all the same Business i went to all suggested VLAMOS straite away.VFT is the way i'm going as i want that quality ride back i aint heard this much about BRANZ but what i have has been good.As i said i'm going with the best as i've gone with the cheaper option on some parts for cars over the years some have been just as good as genuine.But i have ended up forking out even more money and had to have parts replaced not very long after fitting in some cases removal was straite away.Anyway i've learnt my lesson along time ago if you go skimping on some parts and not paying the extra has cost me heaps over the years.BUSH'S ON SOARER'S ARE A PART THAT YOU SHOULD BY THE BEST OF THE BEST ALWAYS.

My car has nolothane bushes. They're not too good, let me tell you that. It just makes the ride harsh, & dosn't help that I've got trd bilsteins on it as well. When I have money to spend, after more important mechanical stuff, I'm getting rid of them
