First of all, why poly? It's ridiculously expensive. As for the front end, change the upper control arm bushings and let it go at that. Find a machine shop with an arbor press. The shop I use charged me 10 bucks flat for both arms.I recently bought a complete set of rubber bushings for the rear on Ebay for 50 bucks plus shipping. Are your rear springs sagging? Get a set of wagon springs from the local pick a part. The wagon spring replaces the sedan spring as a heavy duty. This will help cornering. If you have a good Bentley manual you should have no trouble. AAAND....you will need spring compressors for the front. If you attempt this you will learn ball joints,tie rod ends, struts,springs,etc....It's not rocket science and you'll save a bundle! Go for it!
