Smile Suspension setups, bushings, arms, brand opinions ??

new here, not sure if this has been covered, and i'm sure it has so i apologize in advance...

i just ordered my Daizen front caster arm bushings. I'm getting ready to replace any and every bushing front to rear. My 2gs is a 98 with 250k on the chassis so its definitely well overdue for some good lovin.

Whats your opinion on different brand bushings, toe arms, camber kits, etc... some advice and guidance would be nice before i start spending money on garbage. thanks in advance !

Re the Daizen caster arm bushings: if you search around you'll see that most people who got them were 'OK' with them, but a few replaced them after a couple years with OEM-style rubber bushings, which provided for better ride quality. IIRC the tradeoff is longevity vs minor improvement in ride quality.

ive read both goods and bads about the Daizen bushings, but i got an awesome deal on a brand new set through a private seller off another forum so i jumped on it. But thats where the rest of my question lays, what other brands are suggested in both, quality and longevity ?
