    I'd go in stages, see what you think you're happy with.
    1st. polybush the wishbones and lower small torque mount to freshen up the feel of the car - don't polybush the top engine mount on a D5 as the vibration will be horrendous.
    then probably a lowering kit -Apex is a good choice at about 200 quid.
    then shocks at about 250 quid.
    Adjustable camber kits can also be used.

    IPD ARB's are brilliant, Meyle HD droplinks, Powerflex wishbone bushes, Bilstein B6 dampers, maybe Eibach or H&R springs (unless you go for the B12 kit which are B8's with H&R springs) and a proper four wheel alignment from MRG.

    Sorted.

    I should say I'm on B6 front dampers with the original dynamic sport chassis springs and nivomats, I love it.
