Next weekend I will be installing new spring and shocks. While I have the suspension opened up I want to replace bushings while I'm at it...

I am definitely going to replace the t/c rod bushings, just wondering which other bushings could use the most benefit from upgrading? Will upgraded control arm bushings make a big difference?

Yes. You might want to consider some Moog tie rods too.

all the bushings can stand to be upgraded, but it's a costly affair that I'd rather do a little at a time. I'm trying to go with NISMO bushings all around, but the poly-uro from whiteline or energy suspension are great too.

Is a tie rod the same as a t/c rod?

no, the tie rod controlls your toe setting, and is connected to your steering rack...If you're going to replace your tie rods, I would reccomend getting a upgraded peices, like TEIN or JIC...-chet

I guess the TC rod bushings are the more important ones to replace...They get more stress than the control arm bushings I imagine...Think I will just do the TC rod bushings...doing all the control arm bushings is kinda pricey...
