![]() From looking at your setup and what your doing I'd guess this is primarily a street car with occassional track duty. The new rear shocks should come with new bottom bushings installed, I don't know about the upper bushings. At this level, I would just pull the stock bushing, check for wear and tear, and or replace it with another stock piece if necessary. You probably wouldn't notice a difference in ride quality firming up this bushing location. New isolators are a good thing. In the front, save a few more dollars and opt for a good set of caster / camber plates. This will positively locate the strut where you want it and allow for solid alignments. They will also increase your caster which these cars need much more of. There are rubber bump stops that fit on the top area of the struts - I'd just toss it onto the new strut if it's in good shape. It's only there to cushion the blow as you try to bottom out the strut. New lowering springs should also come with a shorter version of the current bumpstop above the rear axle housing. Make sure you get that in there also - or buy one if one doesn't come. You don't want to hear your rear end banging when going over bumps.
