I too, have no experience with Tokicos, but I agree that you should replace any bushings that may be sloppy.

One caveat: polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings are HARSH. I replaced every other bushing with poly: no problem. When I finally finished the job at the trailing arms, my ride became instantly harsh. I would stick with rubber back there.

NEW shocks are more important than WHICH shocks. Sachs are good, but if you liked Tokicos, stick with those.

BTW, the most bang-for-your-buck mod is generally agreed to be IPD sway bars. Really ties the suspension together well, but any improvement you make will expose the other weaknesses.
