Here`s another option. Save your money for now and use it to do things that are worth while. Being new to the car you may not be aware that it has a horrendously poor factory front end that does pretty much everything wrong (yes, worse than a Mopar). If you`re not interested in fixing that then there is no kind of bushing that`s going to make any noticeable difference. It`s a matter of much debate if polyurethane bushing are an upgrade at all. Delrin sleeved aluminum or steel bushings like the ones you mentioned do perform well at the track but they also transfer more med and high frequency NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). They have less deflection than rubber bushings but on a 1st Gen with stock geometry it`s a little like a small plumbing leak on a sinking ship. Likewise you can try and make geometry mods while retaining the stock A arms but you will likely find, as so many have in the past that it`s very difficult to get any kind of performance front end alignment out of the stock parts and that lowering it and correcting it`s geometry usually make it impossible. IMO step back, read up on the car and familiarize yourself with it`s issues and then dig into it with components that will really make a noticeable improvement for your money.
