would i be able to use this product to replace all my bushings, trying to get rid of as much old parts as possible so there's no problems later on the line.

The only thing that won't work will be the swaybar bushings if you're on stock R/T sways. The endlinks will work fine but since it's made for an SRT it'll probably have bushings in there for the 24MM front and 17MM rear whereas the R/T sways are 22mm and 19mm. Not saying they wouldn't work but the front wouldn't be as tight and the rear would be too small.

wouldn't I just be able to swap out the sway bars from the srt to have that tight suspension? what is the biggest i can use? if not what is the biggest that one would suggest that is safest to use, i really wouldn't want to be spinning out going 160+ or something. but i really do want that tight suspension.

How often are you doing 160+ lol I'd keep yoru R/T bars, the SRT front is larger but the SRT rear is smaller. You could just upgrade to some Progress or Hotchkis bars... :-?

I recommend the Hotchkis sways, definitely.
