Bushes
« on: Oct 22, 2003, 02:28AM »
Ok, so what's the deal with these?  If i'm replaceing the springs and the shocks, I might as well do these seeing as people say they make quite a difference.  There are obviously different types, and they come in a kit, yeah?  Does a kit cover the whole car?  ???

They only usually come in a kit for a certain component, ie left control arm, sway bar etc.
A kit to cover the whole car doesn't exist, it would be nice, but would cost upward of $500 if it did.

Well I'll just check them, and if they're fine, leave them.  Thx for the info!
