If you was keeping standard suspension then maybe standard bushes but i cant see the point if going coilovers anyway


My reasons would be better qaulity then lowering springs in my opinion and
Adjustable ride height to my likening.
Also i just like how they feel on old jap cars hugging the road.
I think the full polybush kit would just make it to hard and stiff


Tbh, unless u was going standard new susoension kit then ur not gonna tell the difference with what polybush kit u go for

Yea, I've run cars on stock suspension and coilovers with poly bushes and the actual dampers and springs make more of a difference in ride quality with mr2's than the bushings.

It's just a good idea to go over the bushings because if they are still original they'll be shot anyway. I don't even know if you can buy rubber bushings anymore, I doubt toyota still make em so the only replacment choice is poly.

everything is the same. except if the GT4 ecu has been used you'll get a check engine light if using an intercooler.
