From what i've heard doing research... Adding after marker control arm bushings will stiffen up the ride a bit more then already is w/ after market struts/lowering springs. But that's only what I've read. Don't know from experience.

Very nice man. 8)
You'll have a hella of a time wit the front control bushin's.
I've done the front control arms for my car but wit SuperPro setup.
When you get that little pin out that sits behind the front struts, be sure to file as much rubber off, and sand it where no rubber is left.

The rears are really easy, that should only take about 30 minutes to and hour.
The front should be about 6 hours, from my experience. lol.

The rear ride will be alittle harsher if you're also lowered.
The front i didn't feel a difference.

But overall you'll notice the tire or wheel won't budget that much when you take an "S" turn somewhat faster than normal.

I've had those sitting in my garage for about 10 months now. I almost installed them once but decided it could wait.

Good luck!
