^ Nice, make sure to post pictures on teh picture thread.

Anyways, I will be replacing my sway bar bushings soon, control arm/suspension system bushings, then after i replace my intermediate shaft and W58 swap, i will replace the rear subframe/suspension bushings, should i go OEM or polyurethane? (energy suspension)?
