Default Shifter bushings

I'm going to be receiving my C's short shifter this weekend and was wondering if I should also change my shifter bushings. Would it be unnecessary and also, what shifter bushing are yyou guys using that won't squeak?
TIA

the shifter bushings will give it a more precise throw. they can be had for like $20 through Summit (energy suspension set) or i think Mugen makes a set that has a 3-bushing set instead of the 2 that comes with the Energy Suspension? I am pretty sure Mike@IPS Racing has the Mugen set and loves it. u around mike?

I have done the shifter bushings in a few integras now, and the difference is well worth the effort.

I haven't had any problems with "grinding"...Might be operator error..

I love the Mugen Bushings, Jason Give me a call if you want me to add them on. The 3 Bushings go just Like Ben said.

Sounds easy. Anybody have a web site that shows step by step instructions? It's probably in the Helms, eh? Gotta get one of those soon.

LOL...sgT, why you gotta always crack me up? Have mercy.
I'm a WANNABE mechanic so I'm not even sure as to where to start when installing these bushings. I'm a visual learner so any pics can help. Plus I don't want to start uncrewing/unbolting stuff only to find out that I've taken off the wrong parts.

One bushing is there behind that bolt at the bottom of the pic.
Follow that rod to the other end, remove 2 bolts and replace the other bushing.
