Will I notice a difference?

I was underneath my car doing an oil changed and I noticed all my bushings are SHOT. Especially my sway bar bushings. They are cracked and dry.

Im going to order a set of poly bushings from spohn and I was wondering if Ill notice a big difference?

Im going to get a set of eibach sportline springs also.

I hope to have much better handling

you will notice a BIG difference. will firm up the suspension real nice. big improvement in steering response.

have you had your front end rebuilt? how many miles on the car?

About 130k on the chassis. I was looking at the moog kits from spohn. Can I do all the front end work myself? Besides getting it aligned of course.

You don't need special tools to change it all do you?

I dont know If I need it. Car steers ok just isn't to stiff.

Front end rebuild = ***** joints, tie rod ends ect??

Did you install a set of SFCs ? If not I don't think those poly bushing are going to do much for you. Your car will just flex more. If you do have SFC install then you should notice a slight improvement.
