[Shotimes] spring perch rubber pads?

[Ron Porter]

Unless you have a line on more sources than I could find on the Internet,
the spring insulators (rubber donuts for the bottom of the springs) are only
available from Ford for about $10 each. The part #s are:

F1DZ-5K617-A
E8DZ-5414-A

Sorry, I don't recall which is the front or rear. I "think" the F1DZ was the
rear.

FWIW, I thought that my 100K+ insulators were bad, but when I cleaned them
with WD40, they were as nice & pliable as the new ones I bought.

I seem to remeber some discussion a while back about the insulator pads from
a Mustang or something from Energy Suspension being a close or exact fit for
our cars? I'm doing a suspension for a friend and while he's having me reuse
all the old worn out stuff (cept rear mounts) I was doing all new everything
on the suspension, but I didn't remember the insulators. Can anyone give me
a part number of waht I should have a local parts place order for me? I'd
like to get the ES ones if they work fine for our cars, as I see how weak
the ford OEM units are as they are falling apart on the OEM struts for a low
mileage car. 
 
I need stuff to do the entire car. Also if anyone is interested I might have
either a brand new pair of front Taurus Police strut mounts or my recently
delivered Speciality Products front camber plates (Prosuspension), not sure
which I want to use on my car yet.
