Default Couple of issues...

I have a GSR and I’m a little troubled with the whole suspension thing right now.

First off, I have the car lowered, not as low as some of the tegs I’ve seen but almost there. The front wheels are almost touching the fender, we’re talking an 1/8 of an inch… I have full Tanabe coilovers, front and rear tower bars and I have the rear ITR bottom bar… My car has about 150K miles on it and most of the suspension parts are stock, well, other than the coilovers. I have some minor squeaking, minor knocking (over speed bumps) and the suspension doesn’t feel as stiff as before.
I was told that the bushings should be changed… and I wanna do that but don’t know which ones, how and if I can do it myself. I am pretty good with cars just not famailiar with this stuff since I never had the honor before...
What tools to I need to get those bastards in place and is this a long process or is it a quick Sunday morning thing?

Second, I have a SPC (or some name like that) front camber kit but my front wheels are still a little negative and tucked in. Do you guys get that too?

What about control arms? Necessary or not?

I don’t know too much about suspensions so I wanted to ask you guys what I can do and how I can fix some of these things. I know I can always count on HT!

Any help, tips, tricks, suggestions, brand names, links to articles and such are welcome!
