I don't really fell that the poly-bushing improved 'ride quality' as such which i think is the main aim here .. accuracy of steering, less jitter, 100% agreed
but in terms of smoothness, comfort, springiness without endless rebound.. it's not an easy thing to do, it's weird because new cars and all taught and nicely sprung but you take an old car and try to do the same, you need new EVERYTHING. and even then it still feels baggy
go too stiff with it and it feels like the whole thing is falling apart
that's why i think i will try the landy shocks (if the length is correct) because it's a small touch which tries to correct 1 thing (rear suspension 'reverb' if you like). they are designed for a much heavier car, it isn't expecting too much, and the cost is nominal
will give that a go at some point over the next few months and see what happens
