You will probably find that the rear bushings on the front A-arms are squishing out. Count on replacing those. The front bushings do not support the weight of the car, so they are probably still good. If so, do not replace them--only replace the rears. You may want to send your A-arms to someone like Elephant Racing to replace the rear bushings. I find that stuffing the new ones into the brackets is very difficult for a home mechanic.
Interesting, I didn't come across this in my research when I was hunting around. Will definitely keep it in mind regarding the 21mm torsion bars. I have the Rebel Racing bushings ready to go on the A arms within the next couple weeks. My stock ones have been squeaking since day 1 of ownership so am looking forward to getting that squared away. Appreciate in the insight!

Edit: realized I forgot to mention those bushings in my post in here about my setup, just edited it to add it!
