Sorry. Goodwin Racing.
RoadsterSport Competition Differential Mounts for Miata
I bought their house brand diff bushings to go with the mazda comp motor mounts. I didn't want additional noise, which is why I had ruled out poly/delrin. TBH, I should have probably just gone for the sadfab delrins... I did notice a pretty good improvement with these though.

No they are not identical. I made my flange quite a bit thicker like it should have been because I don't like to ignore geometry etc. My diff bushings are better in every way.

We designed the flange on ours a little thicker in order to preload the rubber on the lower plate to avoid long term issue with loosening and slop in that bushing.

I understand that. But I was asking what the lower bushings help with exactly. I cant imagine there being a whole lot of deflection if the lower bushing. I could see there being some, but im not sure its worth the money. I cant say for sure as iv'e never tried them, but this is why I asked the question to begin with. Nobody has said anything about them performance wise. So wtf.

Miataman00 doesn't understand that with regards to everything in the rear, you want as much stiffness as possible. Allowing deflection and slop significantly degrades the quality of the shifting experience. You don't want any side to side slop in your shifter - just straight back and forth action like God intended.
