So I'm kinda lost about this whole thing... what bushings are they exactly? and what do they do? just stiffen everything up?

yeah, it holds all of your suspension closer to the factory tolerances. it also makes your steering inputs more responsive, and helps fight alignment angle changes from weight transfer in corners.

Cool, I might have to get a set. There should be a bunch of them right? Like this?

Those look pretty sweet might pick them up also. Sac do you have any problems with them making squeeky noises. A friend had some sort of bushings on the back end of his old civic that just made horendous noises going over bumps? wonder if its the same for these bushings.
