Default '99 Z28 M6 - Rear Suspension Rebuild

I've got lots of miles on this car and have to start thinking about replacing rear suspension bushings. What is there for me to replace? Panhard bar bushings, trailing arm bushings, sway bar bushings .... what else is there?

This is my daily driver, and everything on the car is stock. There are a couple of other maintenance items that I need to take care of soon .... so depending on my cash situation, I'm also thinking about lowering the car an inch or so. Does that make any difference in the choices that I make regarding the bushings?

Thanks!!

It looks like you hit all the "highlights". You might want to also consider replacing the bushing at the nose of the torque arm, where it mounts to the transmission's tailshaft.

What kind of driving are you doing with the car? drag racing, handling stuff, or daily driving?
