Will It be Better ?

Well i have not been driving the car for a good few months due to the alternator being stuffed but its booked into SWR to get it all done.

While its in there i am also getting them to fit my AST solid mounts.

I have done the following to the car suspension wise -

PowerFlex Poly Bush Dog Bone
Track Rod Ends
Bottom Ball Joints
PowerFlex Poly Bush Bottom Arms
AST Top Mounts - Fitted Tues.

Will the handling of the trophy be alot better and will it be too hard to drive ?

Im also thinking about uprated engine mounts also later on would this be too much for a road going car ?

In my experience, poly bushing a car just makes it feel like how it did when it left the factory. They just last longer.

I certainly don't find them too hard for road use.

i dont think youll feel the difference hugely!! it might feel a bit crashier but its not going to be like driving a new car!!

Will The handling be really good.

I was driving with a stuffed track rod end and ball joint for months and my mate said its was really really bad when he changed them for me.

Im just wanting the car to handle very well and be nice and tight

When I got the track rod ends/ball joints/lower arms all changed on mine it made a MASSIVE difference. It seemed to turn in sharper as well as dial out any understeer that the car had on tighter bends. It'll be night and day mate, enjoy!

Im looking to get Powerflex wishbone bushes, ARB bushes and a dogbone for my 182ff, would people recommend getting ball joints and track rod ends too?

I done my ball joints as one was hanging off and with having everything done it goes round corners so so good.

I would deff recommend getting everything done as it makes the clio so tight

Went on an ordering spree yesterday, bought powerflex wishbone bushes, arb bushes, dogbone bushes and got GSF tie rod ends and ball joints! Hello tight front end!

polybushing will tighten things up a bit, however if you use them in conjunction with solid top mounts you might find it a bit harsh on the road. Depends how much of a sissy you are! ;)
