When you say bow bushings, you're referring to the front end bushings? Other than the upper strut mount bushings, the front end is certainly easier to tackler than the rear end, and the rear end is only complicated by the rear trailing arm bushings. Even there, some have tried appropriately sized hole-saws recently to clear out the old rubber and slide new urethane bushings in with some decent success. Most of the other bushings are simple push-out and push-in affairs.

I don't recall from your initial post whether this is a turbo car or not. If it isn't, I'd recommend you find a set of IPD (25/25mm ish) sway bars or a set from a Turbo car (23/21mm) to help round out the suspension upgrades. That will make a huge difference in how the car handles the corners and steering inputs.
