Bushings - which to buy?

Hey guys,

I'm overall very satisfied with the OEM suspension and it's setup, but I want to give it a little more edge and get rid of the "bunnyhopping" when launching . So I was thinking about bushings and started looking around.

The challenge is to find out which to pick. There are vast amounts of different bushing types and brands, so I'm a little bit overwhelmed.

Which bushings make sense and make the greatest difference in terms sharpness of the suspension?

Not related to wheel hop, but steering rack bushings help the feel in the wheel.
