I'm in the process of replacing all the old rubber in the rear with poly do I need new collars for the rear subframe bushings?

They should come with the inner sleeve.

my prothane lower control arms came with a sleeve for the outer bushings, not the serrated edged ones for the inner bushings. those need to be saved or pillaged.

The prothane trailing arm bushings don't come with sleeves, the subframe bushings do
