How much trouble will it be to rebuild the front end?!

yes, but this is only the kit price for the rubber ones.

pollygraphite super kit costs $459.00. i know it'll be money well spent though. well we should hope so at least!

I`ve used both (poly/B`cuda) (rubber/Dart) and I actually like the rubber. Most polygraphite kits have rubber LCA bushings anyway because the poly`s have a tendency to squeak. Either way you go you`ll be very pleased, it makes a huge difference when everything`s new.
