what kind of bushings does our car come with and do i need to replace them when lowering the car? Since i bought tokico's.

I am going to guess rubber, lol. But can you be more specific?

no need to replace them when lowering. I recommend it tho, just for the stiffness it provides and it's affect on acceleration. SuperPro polyurethane bushings are an upgrade, but last I heard they stopped making them because there was no demand. Correct me if I'm wrong.....

so if i didnt replace them..they wouldnt like crap out on me and cause me a lot of problems?

^^no...the only things the bushings are gonna do is stiffen up the ride. The stock bushings are simply made for comfort. They wont crap out on you simply because you upgraded your suspension.

If you've ever noticed when doing a hard launch from a stop, the car sometimes starts to skip and the whole car shakes...part of that has to do with the bushings, replace them and that'll solve part of the problem.
