Talking Just ordered suspension/cassis parts! Yeah! What do you think of urethane bushings?

i HAVE AN 89 COUPE 2.3L 5SPD. Will be carbed and make 140+hp na. Possibly will add a 50-75 wet shot of N2O.(with forged pistons)

I just ordered 10-15 parts from 50resto! So excited. I got a variety of small parts like a rebuild kit for the drums and a few interior dress up items etc.

I ordered a MAC Strut tower brace, subframe connectors, kyb shocks and Eibach Antiroll Kit (Front and Rear sway bars). Already have prokit springs and caster camber plates ready for install.

I plan on a k-member brace and possible rear control arms.

Question: I belive I want prothane bushings but want to make sure I order the right ones. (also have to save a bit more money for these parts)
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF URETHANE BUSHINGS?
WHAT HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE BEEN WITH THEM?
ALSO, ARE CONTROL ARMS WORTH IT?
HOW ABOUT EBC BRAKE PADS?
ARE FORGED PISTONS OLL I NEED FOR THE N2O? (STOCK RODS ARE OK RIGHT?)

The bushings are bulletproof real nice and tight, but keep them greased up or they will squeak. The body and front end suspension will not roll as much as the rubber ones.

Urethan bushings are great. The decrease in deflection can really be felt through the wheel. As ^ said, keep em greased or they sqeak.

A nice addition to what you are getting might be tubular control arms up front, keep the unsprung weight nice and light.

Question

How much do those control arms run? I would probably be better off upgrading the brakes before spending the money on them I suppose.
