As for the corner balancing, the overwhelming consensus seems to be that it's not optional for a job like this. Perhaps it wouldn't be necessary under different circumstances.

I put the very same front bushings on my own car (remember i offered to send the tools to you if you need them). Found the tools to be very helpful but NASA engineering it is not. In my view i paid the premium (roughly 3 - 4x's what other bushings cost) for what i believe is the best bushing design, not for the tools.

i'm not a suspension engineer so i won't claim to be right on the corner balance issue however i'm not sure a poll of those in the know would be a landslide 'you must get a c/b' result.
