If you are talking about the sway bar mounting bushings, you will need to buy new ones (get the IPD poly for these), or if the ones off of the donor car are still in good condition by all means you can reuse them and the brackets.
If you are talking about the end link grommets and/or bushings, you can reuse the old ones.
If you will be redoing all of your bushings soon, I would just reuse what you've got for the time being until you get to it.
Here is what I recommend for best ride and least amount of hassle:
Buy the IPD poly sway bar mounts and end link grommets (they come in a set). Also, if IPD sells end links with poly bushings (the lower bushing, not the grommets), get those. I can't remember if they sell the whole end link with the bushing in it or just the bushing. Either way, poly is a good way to go there. For the control arm bushings, I would recommend getting them from the dealer, or better yet the OEM bushings from fcpgroton for a better price (you have to ask for them; they normally sell the cheapass Scantech bushings which you want to avoid).
You could get the poly control arm bushings, but they are kind of a hassle to install because not only do you have to press them out of the bracket, you have to melt out the old rubber and clean it up to reuse the outer sleeve of the bushing, and then press the poly into it. But if you have a torch and want to do that extra work, then more power to you. Poly is a good way to go and you won't have to do the job for a long time. In that case just buy the whole poly bushing set from IPD and you'll be back in business after a long day's work on your front end. If you have any ball joints or tie rod ends that are suspect, now would be the time to do them. Would it make sense to swap out your strut cartridges? Maybe you've got a long weekend of work ahead of you....but once you put those turbo sways on, you'll really like the improvement and will probably want your front end to be in top shape.
