I'm getting TEIN CS coilovers with front and rear strut bars. With the car at 155,000 miles, should I consider investing a front bushings kit?? If so, where can I get a good kit? How much? And, since I am not a mechanic, what's a reasonable price for install EVERYTHING?

hell yea. get the polyurethane brushings from TM Engineering. Made a pretty noticeable difference with my CS V.2 and Daizens. Brushings are also thicker and harder. It will make your right quality a bit harsher tho. As long as you lube them up you won't have any squeaking issues. Search the topic there is plenty of info. If I had to do it over again, I would do it in a heartbeat. My OEM brushings were showing signs of cracking and wear after i changed them around 65kish.

Just think of it as a maintenance cost =)

depends on who and where you take it. i got my brushings, steering rack, and front and rear daizens installed for like 200-250.

OK . . . . WELL, on top of that, I need the TEIN CS coilovers and front & rear strut bars installed. How much for THAT??

I don't hear much at all about rear control arm bushings. Where'd you score those from?

You can do everything yourself on a nice saturday. It's not hard, just a little time consuming. Have a buddy come over and help you do it.
