I am about to purchase the tokico suspension kit. It comes with adjustable shocks and springs with an 1 1/2 drop. I am kinda broke but have enough money to buy the suspension kit, should I purchase bushings also or just use the stock ones? How much of a difference will the bushimgs actually make? Does anyone actually have bushings and if you do what notice in handling have you felt?
 
If you're talking about the shock bushings then they probably come with the kit you're going to buy. If you mean the entire bushing sets that you see being sold as kits to replace all your bushings with urethane ones, then no you don't need those. Actually you REALLY don't need those since your car is really new. If it's those kits you mean then I don't know personally except for it's a pain to put all those on and I hear they do make a noticeable difference in handling.
