So after doing some fairly extensive searching around, I've come to the conclusion that...I'm going to upgrade...some but possibly not all.

Since this is my DD I don't want to add a ton of NVH! I want a stiffer suspension with more reliable reaction to the wheel input and all that, but I don't want to have my teeth rattled out.

ANYONE that has done any/all of the bushsings on their cars, please chime in with what you've done and how the NVH was afterwards. I'd appreciate it!

Mostly concerned with going from rubber engine mounts to poly. That's the worst. I'm thinking that I might be able to get away with just putting new OEM rubber mounts on (as well replacing the mount bracket bolts) for NVH sake and if/when she becomes more track dedicated make the upgrade then?

SO...update-ish.

I finished my research of what all I need for what I want to do. All the bushings and mounts I want to change out/upgrade as follows:

Engine mounts
E.M. Bracket Bolts
Tranny Mounts
FCABs
Sway Bar
RTABs
Lower control Arm
Upper C.A. bushings
Subframe mounts/bushings
Rear Sway bar

Is there anything I missed?

Also, does the rear sway 'need' to be upgraded? I'm going to inspect it for integrity first before I buy anything, but yeah. That's next on my list for research!

UPDATE

After scouring through threads and webpages and talking with people over the past few months, I've started buying some parts. Received today:

AKG Poly Engine and Tranny mounts
SS Brake Lines
ATE Super Blue Fluid
en route are the powerflex FCAB/RTABs!

I receive my household goods from Korea tomorrow which includes my front sway bar. Still waiting on my splitter to get here from the states...

Can anyone say weekend project?!

Such an expensive lifestyle! haha I need a new job just to pay for all this deliciousness! Anybody hiring?!?!
