I used energy suspension for my coil springs front and rear. i called jegs and they had some part number. 1-800-345-4545  the isolators fit perfect first time. you have a choice between red or black. :D

i called jegs they were some help.they do have  energy suspension isolators,they can not tell me which ones fit my car.So it is going to take some measuring and comparing to go this route.

Latemodel Restoration Services used to carry the rubber variety, but it looks like they don't any more. I purchased mine from them.

fastpartsnetwork shows the rears (http://"http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=318&chapter=DN2FD0&appSectionid=24&groupid=20135&subgroupid=60858&make=10&model=Thunderbird&year=1987&catalogid=1") are $5.53/ea. for the upper and $5.82/ea. for the lower
The front (http://"http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=318&chapter=DN2FD0&appSectionid=19&groupid=20135&subgroupid=60858&make=10&model=Thunderbird&year=1987&catalogid=1") lowers are $5.07/ea. They don't show anything for the upper.
However, just because they show them in stock doesn't mean they have them.

All '83-'88 T-birds/Cougars use the same isolators. All Fox Mustangs use the same isolators as our cars.

Thx for the info.
When I say rubber isolator,i was just describing the part.I realize there are different materials. They look rubber like.
