Default Top Hats + Bushings

I will be installing my suspension soon and have had quite a few people telling me that I should get new top hats and bushings for the assembly.

Can anyone tell me where I should get them and what exactly I need?

Thanks

Oh and just get them at the dealer. They're probably special order and will be around $50 for everything. Top hats will add about $150 onto that.

They'll be fine.... someone on here said that you can cut #14 so the bushings will compress more and "act" like they're harder poly bushings. I haven't tried it since it was mentioned after I installed everything.

Bring the numbers in, but verify you have SHOWA or YUSA shocks first, you probably have SHOWA though, I'm almost 99% positive.
