Default Classic Suspension Harshness, advice ?

Hi All

I have a 'classic' that has a lot of vibration/road buzz which is generally more noticeable at lower speeds.
It has KYB AGX with Eibach springs, not sure about top mounts. Also Whiteline wishbone arm bushes.

I'm looking to lose that harness and looking for some advice.

My first thought is to try swapping Whiteline to Sti wishbone/lower arm bush and then to shocks.
I think it's possibly down to all these components being a few years old but looking for some advice.

Thanks

What size wheels?
What size bars?
Are the top mounts/dampers more than 50/60K?
Stock flywheel?
How old are the tyres?

Hi 2pot
Thanks for replying
16inch alloys 205/50 Pirelli tyres 2 years old
ARB's are Whteline 20 front & rear
Shocks/mounts i guess are a few years old.
I assume that shocks/mounts re the main cause ?
Considering going back to stock as it's irritating me now.

Appreciate your advice as always.

I have Excel G and the P1 springs from the group buy a couple of years ago. Went with increased camber front top mounts. kept standard roll bars after much research.
Got slightly aggressive geometry set up and have to say the car is a joy to drive.
