Start looking at all your other bushings now and see which ones are shot and need to be replaced..

Full length subframes will make a huge difference in all aspects of driving. I definitely recommend doing them.

What about upper control arms? I definitley recommend the master polyurithane bushing kit by energy suspension. I installed every bushing in my entire car and i love it!

it was my understanding uppers werent as benificial as lowers were, correct me if im wrong, but thats why i was only going with lowers. I also dont feel like spending a few hundred on bushings so im probably going to avoid their pain in the as$ work.
