Like the title says. What bushings are you guys using? how's the ride? I'm looking to build a street/track car. Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave, my 818 is a street track day car.
Front upper: All 818 (except lance's) use an aftermarket wishbone with nylon inserts.
Front lower: I use the oem bushings. My Theory: the 818 only has about 800 lbs on the front end. So no need for anything stiffer.
The rear uses a five links per wheel. The kit comes with 2 links that use rod ends. A lot of us have gone with rod ends for the 2 lower lateral links. I am still using the oem bushings for the lower trailing arm. Some are using a modified after market lower trailing arm to get more tire clearance.
