Suspension overhaul
So I'm about to attack the suspenion parts, mostly my squeaking rear bushings... they need to go.
I'm planning on getting the full polly-urathane kit, and the DTSS eliminators
any other parts i should be worried about, shocks/springs are not important at this time, those come later.
thanks

I have read on other threads that you don't want to go with urathane bushings since it makes the very rough and the car basically beats you up. This might be fine for a track car, but I've read folks who have put in urathane bushings and then pull them back out in a few weeks.
However, I would like to hear other peoples comments, since I plan on replacing all my bushings this winter.
It is recommended to install the toe eilimination bushings in the rear.

Ive heard that they make the ride rough, but not THAT rough...but I have no real world experience to back that up. I say go for it though, and tell us about it
Also may want to (this is prevalent in FD world, unsure about other gens) look into a rear diff brace, or maybe an engine torque damper. The later to lessen the amount of shifting weight in the car during hard cornering, plus it will add to the 'feel' during acceleration.
Unless of course you are just doing RR on the susp. in which case you are on the right track. Check for any damaged bits too.
