Has anyone done this?

I am planning on getting the Racing Beat suspension package for my TII and replacing the shocks/struts at the same time... While I have it apart, I was thinking about redoing all the bushings with some polyurethane bushings from either Prothane or Suspension Techniques... Has anyone changed all their bushings, and is it worth the time/effort? Any opinions/advice is welcome.

I've changed everything but the rear trailing arms. The ride stiffens up a little bit. For my car though it made the sport suspension alot stiffer. Make sure if you can that you have a press. After you done one side of the car the other side becomes alot easier. I ordered mine from summit for less than $100.

I was doing some research on this very topic just this morning. From all the reading I did, the bushings make a HUGE difference. Realize, these rubber bushings are not only spongy when brand new, but they are also 11+ years old. I am leaning toward the ES Hyper flex kit myslef. I heard that ES is a little better quality than Prothane.

I'm intersted in other peoples opinions.

I just figured that since I would have most of the suspension apart anyway, why not take care of it... I've never heard of ES, where is that available at?
