Default Anyone 'refurbed' the suspension?

I am getting some clunking from the front end which I suspect is worn sway bar bushings.

I noticed there was a fair bit of surface rust on the suspension when I bled the brakes are the weekend and the other suspensions bushings weren't looking great.

I was thinking of removing, cleaning, POR15ing and re-bushing the suspension. Paint and bushings seem easy enough to buy but...

...does anyone have any experience of actually doing this?

I used POR15 when I was working on the G46 and it seemed to work well, despite the cost. Unfortunately I had to sell it before I could tell if it stopped all rust for 20 years.

For the bushings I saw Powerflex came in at £493 but Strongflex were just £161. Given that I won't track the car and quite like a bit of lean and slide through the corners I might just save myself a few quid there.

Please share your experience, thoughts, advice and general bullshit*.

*please let me know if it is a bullshit post as I have NO IDEA what I am doing.
