How should I spend my money? Or keep it? 200

My 244 is going in for a tire rotation/balance/alignment next week. After I made the appointment, I thought: "should I have them install new shocks and/or poly bushings?" But, to myself again: "do I really need them?"

My '93 sedan has just under 85,000. Generally, would bushings and/or shocks need replacing at this time, or should they be good for awhile?

I've been throwing around the idea of poly bushings and Sachs Advantage shocks and struts and think this may be a good time to do it.

What do you think?
