Default Bushings to go along with install of rack and front shocks?

I need to install a new rack and pinion on my '99 Z28. I also have a set of bilstein shocks that have been waiting to go in. I would like some guidance on what poly bushing kit or kits to get while I am at it to help with handling?

If you're referring to the front control arm bushings, I'd avoid poly, especially for the vertical bushing. I used Moog problem solvers for all bushings ball joints.

Thanks for the advice, I'll pick up a set of them. I also need a trans mount & TA mount, and I want to find a set of poly mounts already in clamshells if I'm lucky.

I have scored a few garage sale pairs in the past from parted cars. I have also done the install myself a few times, it would be nice to skip the drilling though.
