Modification route questions...

Hey everyone!
Im back here again with my 3rd R53. I picked it up about 3 months ago, its a 2006 Checkmate edition with 43,000 miles. I plan on making this my weekend car, a car that is fun to drive around town, mountains, some track use.

I want to start with suspension work first. I was thinking about replacing all the bushings to this madness kit...

I figure its a good place to start. Does anyone had experience with this kit or recommend anything else or to start modding anywhere else?

Thank

We only use the powerflex bushings as those are a copy of the powerflex. When you hold them in your hand you will see the PF markings ground out in the mold they made of the original powerflex. But we also find their red poly to be softer and not as durable. So if you want to replace everything like that you could just do our WMW powerflex front suspension kit

Or go all out with everything

Both are cheaper and better quality options.
