    Which bushes do I replace?

    I have some creaking sounds coming from the suspension so i thoughts i may as well replace some bushes with super pro units. I currently have the white line adjustable front sway bar, KYB shocks and king springs.
    I'm looking for a better handling experience, so I was thinking a 20mm adj rear sway bar and the super pros. I was quoted $2400 to replace all bushes, what would be the best bushes to replace to improve handling?

    Castor, strut tops, rear subframe forward mounts, sway bar links, camber/toe kit if its lowered a bit, could also do the front control arm inner and outer bushes. Bit more involved though.

    Ah, sorry I didn't realise it was for a VE. I'm not sure what bush configuration they have.

    Some people with engineering type backgrounds reckon it's counter productive longer term replacing the standard bushes with more solid ones as the suspension is designed to have that little bit of give in it. Short term you get more accurate steering etc but longer term you'll have problems.
