Question Should I freshen suspension bushings @ 113k?

I just recieved my Eibach pro kit springs in the mail today. My new shocks are on the way. My question is, should I get some polyurathane bushings for some of the other suspension pieces and have the shop replace them all before an allignment? The car has 113k on it. I want it to handle well. I dont autox, but I do drag race. I am willing to sacrifice a couple tenths to the springs. I just want a good handling car. Thanks, Josh.

I don't know how people can live with the stock setup when they are NEW let alone 100k. My endlink bushings were completely smashed in 8k (actually less but I changed them at 8). The car felt like a boat almost immediately and made some driving downright scary!

If you've lived with them this far obviously turning isn't required for you to get around. If you change them now you'll probably run over things on the insides of corners so maybe you shouldn't
