So I'm getting ready to do the suspension on my '90 GT, and I want to tighten up and refresh the whole car. What bushing kits do people recommend here? I plan on going with poly bushings.

Is it a street car and do your roads suck?

It's a street car, but the roads aren't too bad here on L.I. Mostly, I really need the steering tightened up. It's very loose and doesn't have the responsiveness of my old stang. I figure if the steering bushings are shot, the rest of the car's bushings could use replacement.

In the rear, poly on the lowers, OEM rubber up top.

Up front, Ford Racing Control arms with the stiffer rubber bushings and upgraded balljoint.

Also do rack bushings, end links and sway bushings, motor/trans/crossmember mounts if necessary.
Consider either CC plates or new rubber top strut bushings.
