Going to be replacing my Megan coilovers for bc coilovers or stance coilovers most likely. Should I replace all my bushings on the vehicle as well? What kind of difference will it make or is it worth it? I'm not too knowledgable about them so some info will help. Info on the car it's an 06 coupe with 80k. Motordyne sways and spc camber arms.

 

Replace the front upper a-arm bushings, and lower control arm inner and outer bushings, and if you've never replaced the compression rod bushings, do those too. The car will feel like a new car again in terms of "tightness" and steering response.

I just replaced my front a-arm and LCA bushings with Whitelines last spring and the improvement is dramatic, and my '04 only has 47K miles on it. I was still under extended warranty and had the dealer replace my compression rods with OEM. I've read that going to polyurethane or other non-rubber compression bushings can lead to NVH issues.

 

Megans are BC's. Ship them to Odi @ feal and have him revalve and rebuild them to match the springs. He also sells swift springs.

 

agree, I just replaced all my bushing in the front end with Energy Bushings. It really makes a difference. The only down side is road noise, it's just a bit louder.

 

Going with stance coilovers. Supposed to be better? Any feedback on them? Replace front bushings is good or all of them?

 

Upgrading your bushings if you've got the cheddar wont hurt anything. It'll also lower the chance of having to replace a failed OEM bushing.

 

Go with the Whiteline bushings - no additional road noise provided you grease them appropriately.

 

Poly bushings are great until the grease wears off in a year maybe two and you're left with a squeaking noise that will drive you nuckingfutts. Poly is good for areas that don't move but if it's an a-arm or any thing that moves stay with OE rubber bushing. They've good for 5 to 8 years and you'll still have that tight suspension feel for a very long time!

I hear ya, but 5-8 years may be a bit optimistic on the OE rubber bushings. Probably more like 3-5, depending on mileage, weather, etc.

As for the poly ones, I suppose you could treat it like periodic maintenance - have them greased every 2 years and it should be fine.
