No.

are those poly bushings? cause i her poly urethane bushings squeek a lot
|
some ppl say they dont, i hear the shock bushings starts to warp after a year. I'd get the front kit which doesn't come with the shock bushings and put those in. leave the shock bushings OEM.

make sure u put alot of grease on the bushings, the grease that they give u in the package is actually dielectric grease that tends to dry up fast, its utter crap. Buy some grease from crappy like marine grease which is water and salt resistant.

Poly bushings are good. You'll notice more precise steering input and a more solid feel to the car. Unfortunately, they do not absorb as much strain, so they transfer more force onto the subframe and other bits. It's pretty minor actually on a street driven car and shouldn't stop you from buying them.
Solid bearing LCA bushings do exist and I have a set I haven't installed yet. Those do require subframe reinforcing since they absorb nothing - but on the plus side, you'll never have to change them - on a track -----, they need to be changed fairly often. As mentioned above, poly bushings do NOT last as long. Expect to change them once a year on a track -----, every 2 years or so on a street driven car. OE is the most durable and reliable. Fresh OE bushings makd a big difference as well. |

I have full ES bushing in the front of my car, been about 2 months now i believe and no squeeking issue, the steering is much much sharper then before. Once i do the rear and slap on this ITR tranny the LSD plus bushings are gonna feel amazing.
