Okay, so i have a clunking sound in the rear of my car, and i have new tokico's in there, yet it didnt go away, so i figured i might as well rebuild the suspension when I install my new front tokico's as well as eibach lowering springs. Now I've been trying to do my research, and trust me i've spent hours looking for bushings and what to use and whatnot, but i'm still hesitant on my choices. My car is a 94 Auto with 51k on it. First things first, i ordered two bushings from SCP this week:
Rear Poly ARC Shock Mount Kit for Tokico Shocks:

Front Suspension Poly Bushings for the Front of the Strut Rod-Both Sides:

However, I have been reading that I should only be using Ford OEM for these strut rod bushings. Will these hold up? Or would i just be better off with the Ford OEM. I've done some research and the kit for the strut rod is E9SZ3A187A. Now do i need one of these kits? Or does each kit from Ford do only one side?
Next, I am wondering how Poly Bushings are in the front of the car, and was looking at this kit from SCP:

Or would I be better off piecing together OEM Ford bushings for these as well?
Now to the rear of the car, I see energy suspension sells a Poly Rear Bushing Kit:

Which includes the bushings necessary for the spindles. Now, would this be enough to replace? Or should I replace them with the SCP kit:http://www.supercoupeperformance.com/partBrowser.aspx?partId=240
What is the difference between these two kits? Are the extra bushings in the SCP kit necessary?
Sorry for my long winded post, but i wanted to try and provide as much info as i can for what I'm looking towards in regards to suspension work. To be honest, I'd rather just do it once and get it over with, then cheap out and have to worry about it at a later date.
