It's not a bad idea if your most/all your bushings are shot. Getting all new components is expensive. Some people find the trade off between ride quality and road feel worth it so Daizen is a good investment for them.

If you do go with the Daizen route, make sure you grease them once every while to ensure they do not squeak

Looking for a shop in LA/OC area. I got one quote for $800 and some shops want me to come in before they give me a quote.
