Yes Diabolus get new bushes top & bottom. Your going to strip them down to fit the new springs, so may as well replace them as they do wear.

Most fork kits come with oil, I think norm is 7.5 weight, I'm sure someone will be along shortly to advised if that's wrong. The fork oil weight is dependant on your weight & how you want the forks to feel, i.e. hard or soft.

To be fair the bushing will be fine (depending on how hard of life it's had)

If your going to strip any way then do it all and then you don't have to worry about them after

Here's the page on Lings for you for part numbers and prices. Should give you a rough idea, give Brooks a call and give them the part numbers to compare. That's if they even sell them. :thumbup:
