   I want to make my car handle even better. It currently has apex suspension kit -50mm but havent yet fitted the front dampers. I had the springs done last year when got lowered then not long got the dampers. Also has omp lower brace and looking at getting the top one too soon. Which bushes should i go for? Ive heard polyrace are better than powerflex as are stiffer but powerflex ones are needed for the front arbs is it because of the fit or something? I was having a blast down back roads with my mate in a 193bhp focus st 170 and he was only just getting away on the straights but was right back on his arse when came too thwe bends which he was well shocked at and said how quick my car was although im still waiting for my vts engine too come. What would you guys reccomend?

   polyrace bushes everywhere. Grp N engine mounts. ARBs, torsion bars, tyres, strut position, make lighter, better brakes, tracking.

   These are the best mounts imo for price and performance mate, what I already have/will be getting;
   
   - Vibratechnics ECU engine mount
   - BakerBM Gearbox Mount
   - PugRacing Lower Engine Mount
   - Polyrace Rear Axle Mounts
   - Polyrace Front Wishbone mounts
   - Vibratechnics Rear Wishbone Mounts
   - Peugeot Sport Topmounts
   
   Might wanna look into a 24mm ARB theyre pretty cheap second hand. And then replace parts like the droplinks etc

   If your doing an engine conversion it would be silly not to uprate the engine mounts
