Smile P-s-t Replacing Bushings Need Info...

So im doing s suspention upgrade or renavation if you will. KYB GR-2 Front and back and Racing Best springs. Thought about the P-S-T Polygraphite bushings but you any get outter tie-rod, ball joints, control arm and swaybar. What other bushing will i need for a sound front end w/ my shock and spring choice.
last time i crawled under the car all the bushings looked worn or dry rotted. I also love my kidneys.

I think there is also the inner tie rod ends, idler arm, control arm bushings, not sure what else. That kit should be a good start though.

You'll find that Tokico Blues are better shocks than your KYB's... speaking from personal experience.

Um, no. I would stick with the pst setup. Ball joint boots are way different from new ball joints. Same with the tie rod end "boots".
