Default Full poly bush - what else at the same time?

As title, I'm gonna poly bush the suspension, I was wondering if anyone could give advice on what else it's worth doing at the same time.
Many thanks,
Paul.

I poly bushed the suspension a few months ago and as the car was lifted, I also changed shift lever / linkage bushes, engine and transmission mounts and pitching stopper were all upgraded to Group N. No regrets at all.

To the OP: have you modded the suspension at all yet? Or is it standard up to now?

On a classic, a good idea is:
Solid droplinks all round,
Uprated REAR anti-roll bar, (leave front standard).
Anti-lift kit.
Bump-steer mod.

Then get a PROPER geometry setup done from someone who knows what he/she is doing. That means probably NOT your local tyre place

Well a few of the bushes are knackered so they need doing, just figured I'd do the lot. Steering feels "spongey" and I was hoping that doing this would sort that.
With that little list it may even sort out the constant understeer problem I'm having
AFAIK it is all standard. Doesn't seem super stiff and not too low either.
However, is it worth doing things like diff mounts (or even the diff) or do any bolts/nuts have recurring problems? Or maybe some seals or something? Maybe something needs greasing whilst I have the suspension apart? I've tried searching but nothing really comes up.
