Default 2000 Mustang GT looking to improve handling... What are the best bushing kits?

The handling on my car sucks.

I searched around for Urethane bushing kits, but I'm not exactly sure of what I'm looking for or how to identify the right kit.

I could smuggle people across the border in the spaces left by my current bushings...

Would Urethane bushings tighten up my steering a noticeable amount? As it is, my current bushings are just there- they don't even hold anything.

Yep, urethane bushings would tighten it up significantly. Which bushings in particular are done for? A kit to do the entire car could be upwards of $200.

This one is about as complete a kit as you'll find. It's $45 more than the Prothane kit, but the Energy kit has the front sway bar bushings and end links where the Energy only has the end links. The Energy kit also has the transmission crosmember bushings and the Prothane doesn't. You can get the prothane one in red or black.

Screw the link. It's part number ENS-4-18121R or B depending on which color you want.
