Default Full suspension rebuild questions

Hello !

I´m doing a full suspension restore on my 1999b(Facelift) Audi A8 2.8 FWD. just over 120k on the odo.

I´ve bought brand new Meyle shocks, Suplex springs, Mapco control arms for the front, Will also check CV´s for wear and replace if bad.

I have a couple of questions tho, especially on the rear I´m unable to find any good priced kits and all seems to be molded bushings, would it be any point to go to polybushings there ? I want to maximize comfort and ride quality.

Also, what kind of spring compressor do you recommend, I´ve been thinking bout getting one of the Sealey 7011 hydraulic ones. http://www.toolstop.co.uk/sealey-vs7...pressor-p54994, Would this work for both front and rear ?
