Unless you are racing against a clock or track position, rubber bushings are the appropriate choice. Harsher (more performance) ride can be obtained later with tires, struts and springs as needed.

I would guess a Berlinetta bushing to be the same as a Z28 and IROC from the factory. The differences were in springs, swaybars, shocks, struts, swaybar end link bushings, and tire sidewall height.
