Default 96 Accord Ex Bushings

Alright so one of the next steps I want to take with my Accord is to upgrade all of the bushings. I can easily find pretty much everything I need for the front of the car however the rear proves to be a bit more complicated. I have found the control arm bushings but can't seem to find the big trailing arm bushing or more importantly the shock mount bushing. I can find these in typical replacement rubber but if I'm going through the effort I would like to replace them with polyurethane like all of the other bushings. Does anyone know any companies that make those bushings or potentially if the front strut bushing will fit the rear? I've done a lot of research and turned up with nothing to no surprise at all since its an accord.
Thanks!

Use the rubber where you need to. Trailing arm, no.

I had a magazine from the 90's showing that impregnated poly was cheaper than rubber. Rubber OEM bushings turned out to be the superior performing product too. Might have been the magazine MOPAR Muscle..See if I can find it..It was done by Moog who is known for high quality suspension components.

Rubber is not bad at all.
