Bushings?

[Kody.B]

So I am looking at doing all my bushings when I do my coilovers as my car has 150k on it.
I will be getting an ALK but I want to do all of the suspension bushings as well as I'd definitely guess they're needed.
I tried looking at the website but there is a bunch of different options so I can't be sure exactly what I need.
What are all the bushes that will need replacing? I'll be using Whiteline gear.
Note I don't have swaybars yet.

Also, off topic for this thread, but any suggestions for gearbox mounts?

Maybe have a look at entra.com.au.

I'd check that they need replacement first and or target the specific areas where you'll experience the benefits and or increased nvh .
There's 3 per side on the front lca's, the engine & pitch stop mounts, the steering column & gearbox bushes, 8 or so per side on the rear susp, plus the diff bushes!
Then you can get rigi colas for the subframes
Then braces...

I'm doing the front lca rear bushes & RCA kit + h brace, the rear upper camber bushes, and have got the rear braces & rsb mounts in already. Should be overkill for a streeter...

Thanks Cliffo, I'll check it up.

Ben: Thanks for the info. Could be a bit more $$ than I expected but that doesn't worry me. I am not really doing it for performance (whatever I gain is a bonus) I just figure at 150k that the bushes would all need a replacement.
I'm getting an intermittent knock from the front and my mechanic has confirmed that front LCA's need replacing, so I'll start with those.
Bracing and stuff is major overkill for what I'll do, 99% sure the car won't ever see track work.

I was just curious as to what there was for maintenance, but with all of that I have a fair idea. I think diff bearings would still be okay at 150k km wouldn't they?

The gearbox mount is just trying to get rid of some of that pivoting when shifting, it's not a big worry but apparently it feels nicer with an STI bushing on it instead?

Thanks for the info

Do more research I reckon
I had some stock bushings removed from my spare rear upper arms: they look new!
I'd rather go some braces than every single bushing.
Diff bushings are rated by those that have done it.
Pitch stop is also rated for stabilising shifts.
I'm taking the middle path: STi pitch stop w/ cobb sts on stock bushings.
Susp bushings where required plus a little bracing...
