Spring plate bushings

My rear spring plate bushings are mushy after 38 years. It's only street driven so I want something not too hard but I also don't want sagging either.
I see some different versions that require glue but 30 yrs ago with my 73S I just burned off the old rubber and slipped on the new rubber that was available then. I know they were not plastic.
I just used silicone grease and never had a squeak or groan.
I almost was going to switch left to right but I figured 38 yr old rubber is pretty dried out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
