Hey well my PAracing K-member got here and im putting it on tommorow along with my new 03 cobra A-arms. I have several packets of Prothane Urethane bushing lube. Is that ok to use on the bushings that arent Urethane? Or should i use something else? Thanks guys.

I can't see why not

I would probably have used bearing grease if it were me. You won't need to use much of it on rubber bushings though, just a thin coat.

I don't think that you should use grease on stock rubber bushings. I think that the rubber is bonded to both the shell (on the arm side) and the spacer (on the bolt side). The bolt is tightened down on the spacer and the arm moves by twisting the rubber, I think....

No grease, use mayonaise.
