Physically they fit. I have no way of knowing if the hardness of the bushings was per factory specification, but I have never seen poly bushings advertised as matching factory specification. Jaun at Bilstein said he had no listing for the factory replacement bushings for the FX3 shocks. The bushings did not feel particularly hard, and I feel comfortable putting them under the car - street use.

I also bought new shocks to use. I have several shocks from both '89 and '90 cars. The top cover portions on the original shocks are concave maybe providing a nesting type surface for the original rubber bushings. The replacement shocks all have flat tops. My guess is that it does not matter by looking at the geometry.

The only bushings I'm referring to are the bottom rears. After giving Bilstein the correct part number for the 1991 shocks they sent me 2 sets two separate times. The part numbers on the wrong parts are E4-B46-56A. I'm telling you,those people in customer support haven't got a clue as to what they are selling.
