Vu:
When I went through this I needed new bushing all around. As my car was "pre SC" I bought the Sway Away (SAW) adjustable spring plates with poly bushings (different ID than OEM and Neatrix). These offer more adjustment than SC-forward OEM spring plates but, once set, the adjustment isn't really necessary. Charlie's suggestion for the Neatrix bushings is a good idea or...and I might catch grief for this... you can swap spring plates side to side so that the oblonged bushing where the weight of the car sits is now upside down and the "good" part of the bushing is ready for another X amount of years of bearing the cars weight.
If you aren't upgrading torsion bars realize that a lower height will limit suspension travel and bumps that wouldn't have bottomed out the suspension may now do so. This is what I found when I went for a "lower altitude" and raised the car back up a bit afterwords. I also found this out when I lowered my last two BMWs.
