...and have some recommendations. First, poly front, stock rear works very well, transmitting only slightly more vibration than both stock. That vibration is only noticeable at idle, and not intrusive.
But don't try putting poly on the front and anything other than stock on the back. I did that initially by using a "heavy-duty" bushing on the rear, like stock but with no slits in the rubber, and the car became a giant vibrator. It was truly agonizing. In no way was that level of vibration acceptable at idle, especially with the compressor running, so I ordered two stock bushings with the idea that I'd try a stock on the rear first, then replace the poly if that option didn't snuff out the vibration enough. It turned out well, so the second bushing is in storage.
By all means get the removal/installation tool. They're about $50 and make the job a snap. Find another 9K owner and split the cost with him/her, like I did.
