i would try to find some that urethane, then aluminum, then brass. in that order. it doesn't really matter who makes them since imo they are all the same except in material. the metal ones are prone to corrosion thats y i put aluminum before brass. also shifter base it doesn't mater imo cause its inside the car and doesn't see the outside environment.

For the VIII/IX I recommend Speed Source bushings since they're made from self-lubricating brass. I've had issues with aluminum shifter bushings in the past needing frequent relubrication, especially in the winter climates where excessive road sand and salt is used.
