Btw, there's no difference between the Black vs. Red. Same urethane used in each, only the color is different. I did a quick look and Summit seems to have decent prices, but like I said, shop around. Some places will try to screw you on the pricing.

do i need 2 of these bushings? like front and back or just one. sorry but i really dont know much about these vettes and there drive train i was an fbody guy and everything was so much simpler

I've had mine installed for approx 13,500 miles now. They were specifically inspected when I had my new motor installed in January and they were fine. I also have a ceramic-coated 1/4" thick tunnel plate installed as well so I haven't had any heat issues at all.

The Drive Shaft Shop makes some as well, but their design (and cost) is different. Of course you can also step up to a Pfadt carbon-fiber driveshaft for $2000 or an ECS u-joint based driveshaft for maybe the same price.
