Quick Front Bushing Question

Quick Front Bushing Question
Looking to replace the front suspension on my '95 Z and since I'll be digging around in there, figured I would try and replace some of the factory bushings... at least on the lower control arm. Anywho, been looking around at some recommendations and came across the Moog "Problem Solver" bushing. Looks real solid. With this, I guess I have two questions: 1) Is this "Problem Solver" bushing worth the extra cost vs Moog's standard rubber bushings? 2)Assuming I have to buy 2 of these (1 for each side), where would I find 2 of the front bushings to complete the kit, so to speak.
I appreciate the help, thanks again!

Moog has always been a good brand name and quality parts.
If me, I would go with the Problem solver.
Buy two each kits - one kit per control arm.
When pressing new bushing in the arm, use an angle the length of the 'open' end of the arm preventing collapsing of the arm ears - could be a bad day.
Spread silicone grease liberally on the bushing interface to frame - leave bolts loose.
When done, lower to ground with weight, maybe drive a couple miles, then tighten bolts as this action 'sets' the bushings in their new interface.
Or better yet, follow manf's instructions if supplied.
