So the suspension is 18 yrs old...

Can anyone recommend me an inexpensive full suspension bushing kit to re-hab my Bird? The stock rubber has held up this long, but it's starting to feel a little loose over bumps and through the corners. Since I don't drive it a whole lot, I don't think I need a poly set... Thanks for the suggestions!
