Default Lets Talk Bushing

Background, I autocross 6-7 times a year and this year hope to attend at least 2 HPDE's. Took my car into have the tires rebalanced yesterday and the insides are almost down to the cords. They put it on the machine to see what was up and I have gone from a slight toe in to toe out over the last 9 months.

So I figure this might be a good time to put urethane bushing and take some of the flex out of the system. Who has good kits out there and what has been you experience? I do everything myself so what is the level a difficulty.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Big job. You either have to push or burn the old bushings out. Not an easy job.
