@Dammit not sure I follow the logic of not replacing bushings but if the current ones are ok (unlikely) then I guess it saves in the short term but then if the connecting points to the new stuff are not up to it you'll be back in doing at all again very soon.
It might be a different set up but when I replaced some suspension with a Bilstein/eibach setup I chewed the standard bushings in about 2500 miles due to the extra stresses being transferred.
