bushings
Which bushings (the exact name) are the ones that usually seize and need to be changed on a 4th gen when doing shocks/springs upgrade?

 The way you test shocks is to bounce the car (sitting still) and see if the car continues to bounce...if the shock is OK, it should allow the car to rebound after you push on it, and then it should stop (no bouncey, bouncey shit like those peeps with slammed cars and OEM shocks, cuz they blew their shit since OEM shocks were never designed to be ridden on lowered cars)

When I have my struts off after I compress them they take a while before they come all the way up. Maybe a few seconds, and when I go over bumps it hits them real hard, but my car does not bounce. The car is also lowered a couple inches. Does that mean I need new struts?

well, me and my buddy jacked my car up today and took one of my rear tires off. It's the bushing on the lower control arm...the one that goes through the fork part of the shocks...totally seized. Guess I'm gonna have to get it torched off.
