Okay, the suspension is shot, and the car rides/drives/handles like crap (also because the seats need re-stuffing). We will be using some Eibach's for springs, but the bushings that were on the car when we bought it are polyeurathane, and squeek horribly. Since they are expensive as far as I know, anyone have any recommendations on good bushings?

get the progressive rate if you lower the car and get shocks because they usually work hand in hand,regular springs have diff rates so choose wisely on this part it could make the diff between soft and mack truck ride... second I would try prothane, but for the squeeks problem I used to use wd40.silicone spray or remove them and cut small grooves and smear grease or wrap with tefoln tape where apllicable eg. sway bar

Thanks for the information. Can you recommend any kits that have prothane bushings?
